The "jigdo" utility allows you to create ISO images from Debian

There is no reason for "jigdo" to follow the Windows API and
it does not. You should not expect Windows to "open"
non-Windows files. (That said, some "jigdo" files are plain
text and others are "gzipped;" You can look at them with the

The "jigdo" utility comes in Windows and Linux versions. The Windows
version comes with two instruction files - a short "how-to" from
the "jigdo" author and an extensive one from Peter Salzman.
