Does there exist a set of examples for making the jigdo tools actually produce iso images instead of downloading 4.5 gig of file parts and then crashing with no explanation
Well, yes. The Peter Jay Salzman HOWTO has examples.
? I mean, it _seems_ like a good idea to only get the parts that have changed, but I cannot find any clear explanation for what I'm doing wrong. All I ever end up with is enormous files that jigdo refuses to use the next pass:
I thought it was pretty clear:
280 debian-30r2-i386-binary-3.iso.list
Hmm ... I wonder what this is.....
662892 debian-30r2-i386-binary-3.tmp
This pretty clearly is your uncompressed template file (approx 662MB)
56 woody-i386-3.jigdo
You downloaded this ..
132 woody-i386-3.jigdo.unpacked
That's pretty clear...
34776 woody-i386-3.template
You downloaded this (approx 34MB)
Having spent hours downloading files and copying them around, I get: Found 0 of the 1639 files required by the template
Sounds fine so far ... I trust you're aware that a dial-up needs 60 -100 hours to download this much!
By the way ... you don't do any "copying around" ... you just let it run.
Will not create image or temporary file - try again with different input files I take the default path and hit <enter>, and it starts downloading everything all over again.
You must have gotten something ... the script doesn't decompress
the template until the first file is in hand. Keep-on going!
