For example, in the case that you want to mirror Debian CD images with <B>jigdo-mirror</B>, you need a mirror of the `<TT>.jigdo</TT>'/`<TT>.template</TT>' files and a Debian mirror on the local machine.</P> <P>At regular intervals (preferably immediately after the normal mirroring has finished), schedule a run of <B>jigdo-mirror</B>. It will search through a given directory for any `<TT>.jigdo</TT>' files and attempt to create all images offered by each file.</P> <P>The script requires you to set a number of variables - please refer to the start of <TT>/usr/bin/jigdo-mirror</TT> for a description of each of them. Since <TT>/usr/bin/jigdo-mirror</TT> will be overwritten whenever you upgrade <B>jigdo-mirror</B>, it is highly recommended <SPAN><I>not</I></SPAN> to change the settings directly in this script. Instead, personal settings should be saved in a file called <TT >.jigdo-mirror</TT> in your home directory, or in a different file whose name is then passed to the script as its first (and only) command line argument.</P></DIV> <DIV><A NAME="SEEALSO"></A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <P> <SPAN><SPAN>jigdo-file</SPAN>(1)</SPAN>, <SPAN><SPAN >jigdo-lite</SPAN>(1)</SPAN> </P> <P>CD images for Debian Linux can be <A HREF="http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/" TARGET="_top">downloaded with jigdo</A>.</P></DIV> <DIV><A NAME="AUTHOR"></A> <H2>AUTHOR</H2> <P><A HREF="http://atterer.net/jigdo/" TARGET="_top">Jigsaw Download</A > was written by Richard Atterer <CODE><<A HREF="mailto:jigdo atterer.net">jigdo atterer.net</A>></CODE>, to make downloading of CD ROM images for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.</P ></DIV> </BODY> </HTML>
