jigdo-woody download problem
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:

These two should contain URLs for your nearest Debian and Non-US mirrors.
Since you appear to be from South Africa, you should use the following
mirrors. For the Debian mirror:
ftp://ftp.sun.ac.za/debian/
For the non-US mirror:
ftp://ftp.sun.ac.za/debian/non-US/
(Alternatively, if the above turn out not to work:
ftp://ftp.is.co.za/debian/
http://debian-non-us.is.co.za/
)

This is wrong - do not use any proxy at all!
The rest looks OK.

If this is the first time you install Linux, you should really try to find
a knowledgeable person to assist you with it. Unfortunately, in my opinion
Debian isn't quite as easy to install as other Linux flavours.

My email address is not in the "To:" field, so will I be prosecuted for
helping you?! Grr, sorry, I just don't like legal blobs like that...

If this is accurate I can add it to the docs someplace: .disk/base_include and .disk/base_exclude can be included on CD images.

This could be useful if you wanted to make a CD with non-free parts on it, and force debootstrap to use them, and install debs from them. .disk/base_installable must exist on a CD (an empty file is ok) if this CD is an installable debian CD (contains at least the base system). Otherwise base-installer will not use it. So this file is put on netinst CDs, and on full CDs, but is left off of the businesscard CD, which contains only udebs, to make base-installer download the debs from the network instead. .disk/info must also exist, or cdrom-detect will reject the CD as not being a Debian CD.
