Since all the files have the same names, this isn't very clear. Example: Open file explorer and create new folder "c:\try". Copy "jigdo-win-0.7.0a.zip" to "c:\try". Double-click on "jigdo-win-0.7.0a.zip". The extract dialog default is "extract to c:\try\jigdo-win-0.70a.zip" If you click yes, the zip archive is treated like a sub-folder and the files extracted under the zip archive. (The path variable in the batch file doesn't know this) Some setting in WinXP controls this because this doesn't happen all the time.) Perhaps a line in the README.txt file should say the extract creates three files in your working directory and a sub-folder with 16 more.

d-i boot patch
The attached patch makes the cd images use help texts that describe d-i
boot parameters and etc. The texts will have to be kept synced with
those in d-i cvs, so this is not ideal. It also adds an "expert" boot
method. I will finish testing this patch tomorrow (it takes me some time
to download ISOs over dialup), and will commit then, barring problems.
