After a few more attempts, and one more update of the jigdo file which
was apparently updated, it told me
Found 2224 of the 2256 files required by the template
which writes a partial iso file and tells me to repeat the command
after adding the missing files....
i guess i'll be writing 5 CDs now. too bad.

corrupted. Its checksum was bad, i copied it again, and it is now happily
scanning like crazy and making what looks like a giant big ISO file

where $n was my directory where all files are supposed to be....
That directory winds up to be 3.1 GB, so i think i got the size right, but

here's a neat recipe to make a DVD from the CDs.

the jigdo and template file for FC-5 appear to be on their website

Thank Peter!! I will see what happens. :)
