I have a fancy Workstation too, but ALL tools I need are on the first
6 CDs and other tolls I am missing there are so small, that they fit
even on Floppy-Disks...
OK, then I have a bunch of *-dev packages and appropriated tools
(maybe 1.6 GByte)...

Jigdo wil not save ANY space on your drive...
You will save space, if you make an "apt-get update" and then use
apt-get --print-uris install ...
With this list you can create your individual CD/DVD, which I do too and
of course, without ANY Development tools and *-dev packages I have 1683
Binary packages on ONLY twp CDs.
(This Packages are installed on my own 26 Computers @home and @customers)
My development stuff eat around 3 CDs.
