Tips: Faster Download of Warty CD with Jigdo

[Zakaria]

Hi, fellow ubuntuers

If you:
1. Already have a Warty preview or pre release CD
2. Have installed it
3. Always keep it up-to-date with synaptic or apt-get
4. Want to get the latest CD, So you could burn it
   and give it to your friend and family.

There is a faster way to download Warty CD image. Using jigdo.
Here's how:

1. Get jigdo-file
   sudo apt-get install jigdo-file
2. Download warty jigdo file
   wget -c http://releases.ubuntu.com/warty/warty-release-install-i386.jigdo
   wget -c http://releases.ubuntu.com/warty/warty-release-install-i386.template
3. Edit the jigdo file so it use your nearest mirror.
   For example I use mirror.switch.ch . So I add
     Ubuntu=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/ubuntu/
   before Ubuntu=http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/ --try-last
   in [Servers] section
4. Put your CD in CD-ROM Drive and wait until it automatically mounted
5. Run jigdo
   jigdo-lite warty-release-install-i386.jigdo
6. in "Files to scan:" prompt type:
   /media/cdrom
7. After jigdo scan your CD and show "Files to scan:" prompt again, type:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/
8. When you see the "Files to scan:" prompt again just press enter
   and wait for jigdo to download and build your CD image
9. Burn your ISO and spread the spirit of Ubuntu


Wassallam,
