Re: Getting jigdo to actually work

Well, yes. The Peter Jay Salzman HOWTO has examples.
? I mean,
it _seems_ like a good idea to only get the parts that have
changed, but I cannot find any clear explanation for what I'm
doing wrong. All I ever end up with is enormous files that
jigdo refuses to use the next pass:
I thought it was pretty clear:
280 debian-30r2-i386-binary-3.iso.list
Hmm ... I wonder what this is.....
662892 debian-30r2-i386-binary-3.tmp
This pretty clearly is your uncompressed template file (approx 662MB)
56 woody-i386-3.jigdo
You downloaded this ..
132 woody-i386-3.jigdo.unpacked
That's pretty clear...
34776 woody-i386-3.template
You downloaded this (approx 34MB)
Having spent hours downloading files and copying them around,
I get:
Found 0 of the 1639 files required by the template
Sounds fine so far ... I trust you're aware that a dial-up needs
60 -100 hours to download this much!
By the way ... you don't do any "copying around" ... you
just let it run.
Will not create image or temporary file - try again with
different input files I take the default path and hit <enter>,
and it starts downloading everything all over again.
You must have gotten something ... the script doesn't decompress
the template until the first file is in hand. Keep-on going!
