I am a windows user who would like to download debian linux to install on another computer. I've been strugling for a week now to download the jigdo files for woody r2, without success. I read throught the archive of the debian mailing list for clues as to what I'm doing wrong. I've even tried to force proxy addresses into the jigdo-lite-settings.txt file, but it didn't work either. At the moment the script looks like this:
jigdo='http://non-us.cdimage.debian.org/jigdo-area/3.0_r2/jigdo/i386/woody-i 386-{1_NONUS,2,3,4,5,6,7}.jigdo' debianMirror='' nonusMirror='' tmpDir='.' jigdoOpts='--cache jigdo-file-cache.db' wgetOpts='-e ftp_proxy=http://non-us.cdimage.debian.org:80/ -e http_proxy=http://non-us.cdimage.debian.org:80/' scanMenu='' If I don't have the info next to wgetOpts, I get no response at all. This is the best I could manage through trial and error methods. The output of jigdo-lite is the following: Jigsaw Download "lite" Copyright 2001-2003 by Richard Atterer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Loading settings from `jigdo-lite-settings.txt' ----------------------------------------------------------------- To resume a half-finished download, enter name of .jigdo file.
