Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz-docs/issues/170

Originally assigned to: @antonym, @Copilot on GitHub.

Describe the bug

I wanted to get the URL of the files on https://netboot.xyz/downloads so that I could use curl or wget as the root user.

Instead, I had to download each file with the browser, then move it from CLI. Or copy the URL from the download manager of the browser.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://netboot.xyz/downloads
  2. Do a right click on any “Download” button to copy the URL
  3. There are not links so it doesn’t work

Expected behavior
These buttons or their containers should be link so that we would be able to copy their URL.

Screenshots
.

Additional context
Alternative solutions:

  • add plain links that can be copy-pasted
  • add buttons to copy the URL in the clipboard
