NAME

       jigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wget

SYNOPSIS

       jigdo-lite [ URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.

       Given  the  URL	of  a  `.jigdo' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL.
       wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the `.jigdo' file	and  a	corresponding  `.template'
       file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the
       pieces.

       `.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one
       mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.

       If  URL	is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a location to download the `.jigdo' file from. The following command line
       options are recognized:

       -h --help
	      Output short summary of command syntax.

       -v --version
	      Output version number.

       --scan FILES
	      Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.

       --noask
	      Do not ask any questions, instead behave as if the user had pressed Return at all prompts. This can be useful  when  running  jigdo-
	      lite from cron jobs or in other non-interactive environments.
