That's indeed an old selling point of Jigdo: No need to download packages
which you already have.

But you need a pair of .jigdo and .template files which Debian produces for
its ISOs in order to get a new download list. And in the end the new ISO
will be as big as if all packages had been downloaded.

Whatever, Jigdo might have a role in this thread.

Should work. But you might get better performance if you unpack the ISO's
"pool" trees into a common "pool" tree on hard disk. One level of mount less.

Jigdo could bring you bigger single ISOs for either of the approaches.

(I wonder what software ends up in DLBD-2 or BD-4 ...)


Have a nice day :)
