   Thanks for the suggestion, although that did not return anything. (?)

   Jigdo (jigsaw downloader) allows you to download a skeleton ISO
containing the directory structure and file lists, then populate the
skeleton with the required files from multiple sources, including previous
ISO images, CDs, and any available caches, mirrors, and sources.
   Old ISO images must be loop mounted, and the default maximum is 8 loop
mounted ISOs, but the new skeletons do not need to be populated in a single
operation so the process can be halted and re-started with another batch of
old ISOs and/or a different set of original source directories.
