[snip] I tried using jigdo to build a CD image, b/c I only have dialup at home, and wanted to put Woody on my new PC. I tried doing it from a Windows NT box here at work, and on a Woody PPC box. Neither worked.I can't remember the problems I had (it should be in the list archives). jigdo sounds really cool, b/c it took *hours* to download an iso; I believe it would've taken < 1 hour if I'd used jigdo. -- Paul F.
