You can find the jigdo/template files I generated here.  Feel free to
edit the .jigdo files themselves and change/add more lines to the
[Servers] sections.  Right now I left them pointing at the master
server.  Or you can specify a local file path during reassembly
(below).

For jigdo itself, the packages which I intend to submit to Extras are
here (built/tested on FC3):

To recreate the original CD/DVD ISO images from your file tree:

Using chuck's jigdo template for fc4t2 dvd - and my rawhide mirror (updated last night around midnight) - here is a screenshot of jigdo demonstrating just how effective it is:

After telling it to scan my mirror of rawhide, it found 1562 of the 1820 files on the DVD image. That's 86% of the DVD image that I don't have to download because I already have it - and as an added bonus, for my "DVD Challenged" box, after the DVD is assembled, mount the iso, and create the CD images very quickly by having jigdo-lite scan the DVD image.
