Due to my lack of broadband, I got my ADSL-enabled friend to download the Ubuntu install CD for me. He delivered it last night, and I attempted to install today…
Not good – CD was truncated, and I blew away my FC2 install for Ubuntu. Not good at all.
Since re-downloading was not an option, I decided to see if I could ‘repair’ the CD.
Bear with me – it’s not as daft as it sounds…
Enter Jigsaw Download or jigdo to its friends. Jigdo downloads an ISO file by file. You can also use it to patch or repair an existing ISO by telling it to pull valid files from the CD/ISO and retrieve the rest from the ‘net. How cool is that?
So I now have a working install CD, and a working intall of Ubuntu!
