Wget-list needs an explicit command to demonstrate usage

Description

I was reading through chapter 3 and I saw the comment about using wget-list:

"An easy way to download all of the packages and patches is by using wget-list as an input to wget."

This confused me at first, until I clicked on wget-list. AH! It's a link!

To avoid further confusion (and for those of us that skim to the commands), I have a patch that applies the specific command to execute for wget-list.

wget -i http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.7/wget-list -P $LFS/sources

I am not an expert in DOCBOOK ... but I think my patch works, of course if there is a variable for the book version, using that would be much preferable to my current fix.

That's a good point. I'll add the example line. The xml should look like:

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>wget -i wget-list -P $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>

Note that -i does not take a URL for an argument -- only a file.
