You don't have to. As I told multiple times there is a Windows client for jigdo.
It was not clear to me you were talking about jigdo all the time.
I will test http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Creating_Jigsaw_Download_Images_for_DVD_an... and let you know.
Very good. Currently the page mainly describes how to create the images and just refers to external pages when it comes to the user part of downloading the images. If the responsible people at SUSE agree to use this message for distribution we could add some more SUSE specific user description to this page. Or we make a separate page for the user download actions to not confuse them by all this image creation stuff they are not actually interested.
Do far I am not going to comment, because I do not have it running. http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/suse/ does not offer me a workable solution. The other solutions ask me for a .jigdo file that I don't have and am not aware of.
I am sure it is not more difficult to explain jigdo to the average user than it is to explain how to burn ISO images.
As I said, I will test it and see what happens. I will now put on my beginners hat and see what happens.
Have fun! Should I provide you with some of the sample images I made for beta3?
That would be nice, but I first need to get to a .jigdo file. This is my comparison till this moment. ftp winds handsdown: 1. Go to the download page 2. Download You have your iso's For jigdo it is: 1. Go to the .jogdo download 2. Download jigdo 3. search for a .jigdo file 4. Run the program 5. ? Not sure if there is a step 5, as I did not get that far. So what I am saying, although it might be a great tool, it will not be for everybody to use. I am by no means a guru or wizzard, but I am also not really a begeinner, so if I am stuck a lot of people will get stuck as well. With FTP I can say, click on http://example.com/cd1.iso and so on. With jigdo I need to have them install another program. Again, perhaps really great, but hardly : " not more difficult to explain jigdo to the average user than it is to explain how to burn ISO images " As I understand, jigdo will also only download (and make) the iso's, so that step has to be made for both. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs
