Beartooth: The gui is broken, as the docs we *do* have clearly say.
Use the cli, jigdo-lite version. Its been broken since it release
in 2004 or 2005, and no one to my knowledge has touched it with an
eye toward fixing it.
exactly. i'll fix my wiki page to emphasize that, while you need to
install the jigdo *package*, the command you run is "jigdo-lite". i
didn't bother with the GUI front-end.

p.s. it's still not clear if jigdo-lite is capable of using the mount
point that is automatically created by inserting the original DVD,
given that the mount point name has embedded spaces, which is why i
suggest that you need to unmount the DVD, then manually mount it back
under something like /mnt.
has anyone got this to work using the original mount point, which is
something like "/media/Fedora 8 x86_64 DVD"? that would simplify
things.
Hi Rday, it looks to me like /media/"Fedora 8 x86_64 DVD" should
work. It is what you do when using basic tools.
