NAME

       jigit - Easy CD download tool

SYNOPSIS

       jigit <distribution>

DESCRIPTION

       jigit  will  automatically  download  the  files  needed  to  create  a
       Debian/Ubuntu CD, using as many files  available  locally  as  possible
       before downloading any that are missing.

       Configure  jigit  by  editing /etc/jigit.conf or $HOME/.jigit.conf. The
       two settings that matter are:

       HOST   The base URL of the jigit update site.

       TMPDIR Where jigit should store its temporary files. These may take  up
              a LOT of space!

HOW IT WORKS

       jigit  will  download  a configuration file from the remote host, along
       with jigdo and template files. It will scan your machine for any of the
       files  it  requires (e.g. in the apt cache), including any old CDs that
       you may have - simply tell it where to look when it asks.  If any files
       are  missing,  jigit  will download them. Once all files are available,
       jigit will build a new ISO image  to  match  the  one  you  would  have
       downloaded.
