Ahh. I see. No idea what happened I have read the mini-howto, but it must have been too swift. My apologies. I had attempted in <whispermode>windows</whispermode> to update my image, because my HD on my router is too small. At first it didn't work, it scanned the entire image and said it had found 0 files.
The howto presented a vital clue, stating you have to mount it as a loopback device. I have no idea what that is, but I knew I hadn't mounted the iso. So I tried again using Daemon-Tools (another quality piece of German software ;) ) and it worked like a charm. I know mentioning "that other OS" on a list like this is like blasphemy in a church, but maybe other M$ jigdo users can benefit from it. Of course you can share the iso over samba then mount the iso from the share in Linux but I don't like scanning 650MB of data over 10Mbit BNC =) Thank you for your swift replies.
