What I proposed is to create a small pool directory to set all packages removed since the creation of a jigdo/template file. I assume it woudn't be too long because in a week it will be deleted again. > Check out: > http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Jigdo/updatingyourimage.html > > FWIW I kept my Woody isos uptodate on a pathetic slow dial up connection. > I did however buy the initial set of cds. > Of course, with the current extension you'll need a lot of time ;) > Now I'm on 256/64 adsl I think it took me 3-4 days to get the dvd isos in > the first place.

My line was upgraded Thusday, and I'm downloading sarge-DVD-1 since yesterday. BTW, this morning has been released new jigdo/template files. It seems I did the transition to new ones with success :). I'm hoping this time I'll be able to download DVD-1 before a file were removed, I still need to download 1950 from 6737.
