You want the current images. http://www.debian.org/releases/ Select "stable" takes you to: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ Selecting "installation information" takes you to: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ And on that page are ISOs of images. I recommend the netinst amd64 image. It is a direct link. Just download it. http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.7/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.7-amd64-netinst.iso > > From there, you can get to > >http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/6.0.5/i386/jigdo-cd/ > > > >And following the instructions on http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ > >(as http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/ explains you > >that these are only kept in Jigdo format), you need to download > > > >http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/6.0.5/i386/jigdo-cd/debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.template > >http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/6.0.5/i386/jigdo-cd/debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.jigdo > > > >and install jigdo-files. > > > >Then calling > > > ># jigdo-lite debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.gz > > > >should download and build an appropriate ISO image (I just tested it, > >it does work :)). Using jigdo also works well. I like using it with a networked template. For CD#1: # apt-get install jigdo-file $ mkdir jigdo-stuff $ cd jigdo-stuff $ jigdo-lite --noask http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.6/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-6.0.6-amd64-CD-1.jigdo ...lots of output... $ ls -ldog debian-6.0.6-amd64-CD-1.iso -rw-rw-r-- 1 678428672 Jan 8 13:56 debian-6.0.6-amd64-CD-1.iso For the netinst image same thing but: jigdo-lite --noask http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.7/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-6.0.7-amd64-netinst.jigdo > I'll try it after lunch. I had been avoiding jigdo as I understood > its use was being discouraged It is still very much supported. But the Internet has no delete button and there was much discussion of early problems that were eventually fixed. How old are those postings? I would definitely recommend jigdo when using a fast local mirror. When used on the mirror machine itself it is extremely fast! :-) You can use jigdo-lite to build any of the images that are needed even though the mirror does not keep full ISOs around. Because of the caching of smaller individual deb files it is more resilient to stopping and starting. A large DVD ISO it is only useful if you have the whole entire file. Change one deb and the whole entire file is needed to be downloaded again. Whereas with jigdo only the one deb needs to be downloaded again. An incremental update is much faster using jigdo. > "Currently, the system works, but is not yet very comfortable to use > because the download manager application is not finished." > http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ Who needs a graphical download manager? Simply use the command line as shown above. You have been railing against having a network but you require a mouse? That seems very inconsistent. > "This software is now in "maintenance mode", development has > stopped.

Writing a novel with the mouse is like using a bar of soap on a window. The keyboard is much more efficient. Take that mouse and throw it away! :-) Bob
