Not particularly. It's taken a while to get to a state where jigdo-lite works reliably for me (as I believe I was the first person to actually try using for real). So now it is working I was just wallowing in the satisfaction of using something that works for a while before dicking with it and finding out about some new tool :-) I've been busy recently and haven't really been keeping up on jigdo-mirror. I assumed it was for people keeping full CD mirrors, but no doubt it can be configured to keep partial CD mirrors, which is indeed exactly what I am doing, so I probably should be using it. <fx: goes and tries it> Hmm, that seems pretty good actually. This is indeed a rather better fix than allowing mulitple files to jigdo-lite. It's into it's 3rd CD now and should do the whole damn pile all by itself so long as I don't run out of disk space. > > Riachard - definately something to add to the wishlist - separate > > temp files for each CD so you can set several off building in > > parallel. > So far I planned to add support for giving >1 jigdo files/URLs as > input, and have them downloaded one after the other.

Only jigdo-file-cache.db is left. presumably there is a good reason for this - remind me? The only thing stopping jigdo from being totally perfect is the lack of docs. No doubt the howto fixes a lot of this but someone getting round to some more complete man-pages would be a good thing TM (and no I'm not volunteering) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://www.chaos.org.uk/~wookey/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
