JIGDO-LITE(1)							   JIGDO-LITE(1)

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  spe-
     cially:  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.
