Maybe so, but you have obviously done this several times previously, David. As far as the gui is concerned, no it is not needed, but the majority of us would like to have one with 2 or three file requesters to use, one for getting the src listing from the url, one for finding that src list on your machine once its been downloaded, and one to tell it where to put the results. With such a working gui that launched the jigdo-lite as a background process giving it the correct syntax and data as derived from the file requesters, I'd bet that jigdo usage would multiply by 10 in a week.


I don't recall if I pointed you at this site page before or not. I have
others. But it just about does not get more clear than this. Done by
Fedora people, for Fedora people, to download Fedora isos.


Using Jigdo to Download Re-Spin ISOs
http://fedorasolved.org/post-install-solutions/jigdo/


This site gives very good, clear instructions. They were for me. And, as
an experiment, I just did this again while running Windows XP Pro. That
was interesting because there are next to no instructions for that way.
And none of the Linux instructions 'work' in the Windows jigdo. They are
all actually writen for Debian isos and had to be edited.

And yes I have done this before now. Several times. Just for giggles and
grins. I have also, somewhere, the necessary rsync CLI that will let you
 'change' a rc1 beta to a rc2 beta iso by just 'diffing' the changed
parts of the contents between the two.

Well I agree that that web page is pretty good, but it is very spotty data. It does not say "use the jigdo software in a command-line way" but you do. And it says if you wait and all is well it will ask for the location of your DVD data.

I did learn you need to put the right stuff in /.jigdo but not really how to put it there. It is left as something to experiment with.

From a writer's point of view the web page might be the best, but the best is very VERY poor.
