Ok, I see about 864 items there, so I take that apt kept the downloaded 
packages.
(They sum-up about 593Mb which fits 1 CD, and that's unexpected because the 
"official" distribution has lots of CDs)
Anyway, how do I use jigdo to build an ISO? I've never used jidgo before so 
I've _scanned_ the jigsaw site, the faqs and the list archives but found 
nothing.
