NAME

       jigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wget

SYNOPSIS

       jigdo-lite [ URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.

       Given  the  URL of a ‘.jigdo’ file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file
       (e.g. a CD image) that  has  been  made  available  through  that  URL.
       wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data
       (contained in the ‘.jigdo’ file and a corresponding  ‘.template’  file)
       as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-
       file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the  pieces.

       ‘.jigdo’  files  that  contain references to Debian mirrors are treated
       specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select  one
       mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.

       If  URL  is  not  given  on  the command line, the script prompts for a
       location to download the ‘.jigdo’ file from. The following command line
       options are recognized:

       -h --help
              Output short summary of command syntax.

       -v --version
              Output version number.

       --scan FILES
              Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.

       --noask
              Do  not  ask  any  questions,  instead behave as if the user had
              pressed Return at all prompts. This can be useful  when  running
              jigdo-lite   from   cron   jobs   or  in  other  non-interactive
              environments.

       the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
