Why use jigdo when one can download a netinstall image which is considerably smaller and install the rest of the packages via the internet. of course one must also have broadband in order to apt-get all those big desktop packages..
Simple. I have broadband, but it's not always on ;-). You don't want to begin installing only to wait two days to several weeks before you finish it because your connection conked out midway during installation. (To be sure, my record for disconnection is two days. But after several weeks, a friend is still waiting to get reconnected.) _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
