debian-testing-amd64-netinst.template
command issued and results after installing jigdo-file:(word wrapped by
tbird)
As others have said: you need to use jigdo-lite rather than jigdo-file.
Download the netinst<dot>template and netinst<dot>Jigdo files from
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-12.7.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-12.7.0-amd64-netinst.template
Run jigdo-lite in a terminal as root
It will prompt you for the location of the jigdo file - probably
something like /home/gene/Downloads/debian-12.7.0-amd64.jigdo
It should prompt you for the location of a Debian mirror - give it a URL for
your nearest Debian mirror or http://deb.debian.org/debian/
It will look in the directory you gave for the .jigdo file to find the
.template and should not need to redownload this.
It should then "just work" - I've just been doing exactly this to check.
All the very best, as ever,
Andrew Cater
Well, since its looking like rain which we need badly, and I'm still
barefoot but bandaged to the knees, I'm stuck playing. The linuxcnc
people have a hybrid iso for 12.6, which should update to 12.7, so I've
pulled it and burnt it to a dvd+rw.
But burning it, I spotted xfburn in the menu's, looks nice but when will
it actually be able to burn an iso???
So I had to fall back to k3b which worked, once I had found the iso. The
selection window is only 6 or so filenames tall, mouse wheel scrolls 50
names at a time, making, when there are 1000+ entries in my home dir,
very frustrating. The right hand scroll buttons only work when they want
to, so it took me >15 minutes to find the file & get the write started.
k3b has existed in this condition of making it near impossible to find
the iso to be burnt for what seems like a decade. Ingo can't be
bothered to fix a huge usability problem.
I have 100 count spindles of every type of cd/dvd ever made, but have
not stored them in closed, dark spaces. Long term exposure to the room
lights apparently erases the ID track. The only type surviving a decade
and still working as advertised is some sony brand dvd+rw's.
So when does xfburn grow erase/write abilities?
Post by gene heskettThank you Andy, obviously jigdo-file was wrong command. already printed
FFR. IMO the man pages suck, no obvious cross correlation to guide the
user toward success. Needs at least a see also section at the bottom.

Found 0 of the 1001 files required by the template
Will not create image or temporary file - try again with different input

What am I doing wrong?
tnx.
