Problem with Jigdo

["Elf Man" <elfman@theelfman.net>]

Greetings,

Just I note to make the observation that the Jigdo process does not work 
under Windows XP.  The files download (e.g. 
http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current-cd/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1_NONUS.jigdo 
and 
http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current-cd/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1_NONUS.template ) 
, but non of the expected other files are ever created.  At the end of the 
download process there is an error message in the command prompt window 
stating some thing like:

file skipped 
http://us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/current-cd/jigdo/i386/woody-i386-1_NONUS.template 
no such file or directory.

This problem is mentioned in the jigdo FAQs, but the suggested resolution 
(decreasing file path length) does not work.  I repeated the entire process 
to a folder off my root and same error.

It would be helpful to make people aware that if they try the jigdo process 
on Windows that they are probably wasting their time.

Best wishes,

Elfman
