jigdo-lite
~~~~~~~~~~
This program enables you to retrieve big files (for example, CD
images) that someone offers for download in the form of ".jigdo"
files.

First, locate a site which offers such files with a ".jigdo" extension
- see <http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/> for CD and DVD images of
Debian Linux in jigdo format. Next, download the image as follows:

 - Open a command line terminal and change directory to the same
   directory as this README (using the command "cd directoryname").
 - Run the jigdo-lite script, by entering "./jigdo-lite".
 - The script will ask for the URL of a ".jigdo" file - enter the URL
   of your choice.
 - Follow the instructions printed by jigdo-lite - hopefully they will
   be self-explanatory.

You can also have a look at the file "jigdo-lite.html" for a little
documentation. "jigdo-file.html" contains a detailed technical
description of jigdo.

Making jigdo-lite use your proxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To make jigdo-lite use your proxy for its downloads, first start
"jigdo-lite" as described above. As soon as the input prompt has
appeared, abort the program again by pressing Ctrl-C.

You will find that jigdo-lite has created a file called ".jigdo-lite"
in your home directory. Load this into an editor and find the line
that starts with "wgetOpts". The following switches can be added to
the line:

-e ftp_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
-e http_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
--proxy-user=USER
--proxy-passwd=PASSWORD

Of course, you only need --proxy-user/password if your proxy requires
authentication. The switches need to be added to the end of the
wgetOpts line *before* the final ' character. All options must be on
one line.


jigdo-mirror
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The included jigdo-mirror script is for people who have a full Debian
FTP mirror on their harddisc as well as a mirror of the Debian jigdo
files, and who want to create all the images offered by these jigdo
files. Additionally, if the script is run at regular intervals,
updated/added/deleted jigdo files are detected. See
"jigdo-mirror.html" for more information.
