fairly ignorant jigdo question....
Dear Debian folks,
I tried to post a question about jigdo but it didn't seem to reach the site.
Here goes again.
I notice that Etch currently has 21 CD images in the testing release,
But Sarge comprises 15 CDs.
I have the 15 CDs. If I want to use jigdo to create the 21 CD images
comprising Etch using the Sarge CDs to speed up and bootstrap the process,
what is the best way to do this?
My understanding is that the jigdo can extract the individual files from an
iso file (Sarge) and combine it with separate files downloaded from a
repository and combine them to make the new (Etch) iso file......
But what happens if the same file on CD number 3 in Sarge is legitimately
located on CD number 7 of Etch?
What if the file on CD 15 in Sarge is located on CD 21 of Etch?
Would I have to scan all 15 CD images and have them all copied up on my hard
disk every time I make a new Etch iso file?
Should I use CD-R or CD-RW disks? I currently use CD-R ones.
Regards.
Michael Fothergill
P.S. could scan in Sarge CD images but then create the Etch DVD images with
jigdo?
