         <p>Just do an <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">sudo apt-get jigdo-file</code> and read the following:</p>

<ul>

</ul>

<h2 id="where-to-get-downloads">Where to get downloads</h2>

<p>Download the appropriate .jigdo and .template file into a suitable directory on your system.</p>

<ul>
  <li><a href="http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/">Jigdo Releases</a></li>
</ul>

<h2 id="reducing-your-download">Reducing your download</h2>

<p>Pretty much the raison-d’etre of Jigdo is the ability to re-use an existing CD to reduce the number of files to be downloaded.  But if you’re anything like me it’s much easier to use an ISO:</p>

<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
$ sudo mount -o loop debian-LennyBeta2-i386-kde-CD-1.iso /mnt/cdrom
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>Now just enter <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/mnt/cdrom</code> as the path to the CD to use</p>
