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.
