Jigdo problem.

aaa · 11-18-2003, 11:50 AM

I have been using Jigdo to download Debian Sarge. The last 2 cds don't download properly. With cd 10, jigdo says that 26 files are missing, and with 11 it says 10 are missing. I tried different mirrors, but get the same result. Is there a way to:
get the needed files?
find out if I need those cds anyways (like what's on them?)?
assemble the cds without the missing files?

All you need is the first CD. I would be quite surprised if that wouldn't work. During the installation you got to set some adresses for apt-get to use, and you can update your system (and fetch eventually missing packages) afterwards.

On the jigdo page near the bottom (IF I remember correctly) there's a mention about this. I had it happen too.

You use rsync to replace the missing files. Find that and go from there.

It was something like rename the ...iso.tmp to .iso and then run rsync on the .iso and the rsync server. Definitely follow the directions on that page and you'll be good to go.
