Hi all,

as someone maybe remeber, I'm working ona GIO-tool for the
jigdo-downlaod for windows-user. now, after the official
jigdo-files are out, I have some problems:

--> while I was programming the tool, I've worked with an
experimental .jigdo-file that downloads the boot.iso from
beta3 - with that file my tool worked fine.

--> but with the 5-cd-version of the complete OOS-release
I have this proplems:

---> naming the image-files
the files that will be created with the jigdo-stuff will
be named without "-cd1.iso", "-cd2.iso" etc. the name of
an created file ends after "GM".

---> deleting existing files
this brings also up the next error, that tells the user
that the file that he will downlaod and create already
exists (remember: the filenames of the ISOs are till "GM"
allways the same; they differ only with the "cd1", "cd2"
etc, but that is missing !). the jigdo-stuff tells the user
he should delete the file or should use the parameter
"--force" to overwrite it will the new download. both
are bad for users that don#t have any skills, and don't
now that they should rename the imagefile after it is
created.

so, my questions are (to someone here on the list how
knows a little bit of jido):

- is there a parameter on the commandline with witch
I can tell jigdo witch of the 5 ISO-files in a .jigdo-file
I want to download, so that there is no need to ask the
user interactive for that number ?

- is there a parameter on the commandline I can use to
tell jigdo the name of the resultung imagename it should
use ?

[I've tweaked this already for an .jido-file that contains
only a single iso-image to download / create with a "hacked"
jigdo-lite-scriptfile, but that doesn't work with .jido-
files with more than one iso-image]

- why does jigdo works on a windows-machine only when I
use the "jigdo-lite.bat"-batchfile ? I've tryed to do the
same what the batchfile does with my tool internal, but
windows allways complains about missing program "sh", even
if I set the path to the jigdo-bin-folder as the batchfile
does.

- while asuming that the both parameters as asked above
aren#t there I've tryed to make a copy of the .jido-file
for every iso-file in the "[Image]"-section of the file.
is that a "save" way to make for every iso-file a new
.jido-file that hold the long list of files in the "[Part]"-
section ? or should every .jigdo-file only contain the
files in that "[Part]"-list that is realy part of the
resulting iso-file ?

as the server download.opensuse.org and ftp.gdwg.de are
*allways* to bussy, I think it will be better to put both
server not as the first entrys in the "[Server]"-section
because the download speed is terible. it would be better
to put them to the end of the list after all mirrors.

Ok, I hope someone here on the list can help me - I've
made my GUI-tool with the help of "real windows users"
with no deeper skills into IT, and all of them would
realy like to downlaod, install & use openSUSE, so I think
there is realy the need of a tool to get jigdo working
for them.

best regards from berlin,
JBScout aka tom
