Manpages JIGDO-LITESection: User Commands (1)Updated: 28 June 2002 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEjigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wgetSYNOPSISjigdo-lite [ URL ] DESCRIPTIONSee jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download. Given the URL of a `.jigdo' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL. wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the `.jigdo' file and a corresponding `.template' file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the pieces. `.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors. If URL is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a location to download the `.jigdo' file from. SEE ALSOjigdo-file(1), jigdo-mirror(1), wget(1) (or `info wget') CD images for Debian Linux can be downloaded with jigdo <URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/>. AUTHORJigsaw Download <URL:http://atterer.net/jigdo/> was written by Richard Atterer <jigdo@atterer.net>, to make downloading of CD ROM images for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
