Sorry to jump in, in the zip file (1) the provided wget does not support
'https'.
So for example, this URL will work when entered in the batch file:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
but this one will not:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
The error in question is:
"Downloading .jigdo file
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.3.0-amd64-
netinst.jigdo: Unsupported scheme.
File `debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo' does not exist!"
Other then that, it works like a charm on Windows 7.
At the end of the process:
"OK: MD5 Checksums match, image is good!
WARNING: MD5 is not considered a secure hash!
WARNING: It is recommended to verify your image in other ways too!"
What are those other ways (2)?
To: "John Kaufmann <kaufmann@nb.net>":
Were you using the *.bat file found in the zip archive from (1)?
Note that this e-mail is folded by my mailer.
