as i mention at the wiki page, jigdo-lite appears to have trouble
dealing with mount points that contain embedded spaces, which is
exactly what you're going to get if you let the DVD be auto-mounted --
you'll get a mount point of (in my case, at least):

/dev/sr0 on /media/Fedora 8 x86_64 DVD type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=500)
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hence the need for unmounting and remounting at a sane mount point,
unless there's a trick to make this work (i've tried backslash
escaping the spaces and using tab completion, neither of which
worked).
