>Getting Debian ISOs has always been a painful, slow and supremely inefficient process.
|
|
Jigdo is a tool for distributing and obtaining Debian ISOs in an easy, fast and very efficient
|
|
manner. This HOWTO describes why you should use jigdo, a little bit about how it works and how
|
|
you use it to get and update Debian ISOs.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Jigdo is a very general tool, and isn't tied specifically to Debian ISOs. The jigdo tools
|
|
can be used to make any ISO available for download in the same easy, fast and efficient manner
|
|
they're used for Debian ISOs. This HOWTO will cover this as well, but we'll focus primarily on
|
|
downloading Debian ISOs.</P
