    Hi,

    I've done the jigdo thing (a year ago) and I just did a network install
    of sarge.

    I found the latter a lot faster than downloading a bunch of CD images.
    You download a 100MB starter iso image, burn it, boot it and do the rest
    over the network. I had a working useful system after about 4-5 hours
    (net of getting %$!#@* to work).
