But jigdo is sometimes no option since it can not run on small
machines...
Last week I was in Algeria and have tried to download "Etch" using
Jigdo but it requires to much resources on my Laptop TP570 (P2/366
with 192 MByte of memory) while downloading the CD-Iso's went fine
with wget and will run even on a 486 with 64 MByte.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
