2002-08-08 Thread RIBNITZ Robert
Hello, it is kind of hard to find jigdo images (there are like 2 sites that carry them). Since the jigdo base description files are much smaller than the cd-images, I wonder why not distribute them to every server? eg. in /dists/woody/disks-platform/jigdo ? would make the task of getting debian
