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.
