Didn't we have a long thread on the jigdo command line a couple of weeks ago? Didn't rday do up a howto (which looks pretty complete)? I was able to do it very quickly; running the actual command was very simple, and, if I hadn't been using my own local repository that I rsync daily, would have been very very easy to use. The only confusion is the actual command output of jigdo-lite. But once you realize that it isn't really finished every time it says it is (each 'jigsaw' component, apparently, has its own 'finished' message), and just wait until it checks the resulting ISO and returns to a prompt. With a fast connection it won't take more than a couple of hours (in my case, fedoraunity.org's bandwidth is the limiting factor, since I've got 100Mb/s here). Also, on my F8 laptop, the 'yum install jigdo' Just Worked; what repos do you have enabled? I have only livna and PlanetCCRMA enabled outside the main Fedora repos. If you're getting unresolved deps, typically that means a mirror sync is taking place and you need to try again later. (Although, as a rant, this situation should not happen for maximum user comfort; I have found that it happens too often to be able to rely on being able to yum install with any reliability; that's part of the reason I rsync my own local repo). -- Lamar Owen www.pari.edu
