[MAPSERVER-USERS] Serving jpeg tiles - is there a howto?

[bibbob]

Hello,

Sorry if this question is a bit newbie-ish, but I've searched quite a bit
for a guide on how to do this and haven't come up with anything yet.

I have a pile of JPEG images which are tiles of a map.  I'd like to serve
them as a layer in MapServer (to use them within OpenLayers, but that's
another story).  Each image has its co-ordinates built into the filename,
like so:

~/tiles $ ls
tile-250000-253000-340000-343000.jpg  tile-256000-259000-340000-343000.jpg 
tile-262000-265000-340000-343000.jpg  tile-268000-271000-340000-343000.jpg
tile-250000-253000-343000-346000.jpg  tile-256000-259000-343000-346000.jpg  

The list is truncated - the format is tile-minX-maxX-minY-maxY.jpg where the
origin is in the bottom-left of the map.

I've read that I can use gdaltindex to create the shapefile to index these
tiles, but when I try it, it complains that they aren't georeferenced:
"It appears no georeferencing is available for
`tile-271000-274000-358000-361000.jpg', skipping."

...which is understandable, as they're just JPEGs.  Any idea how I tell it
where each tile is?  How do I put this into Mapserver?  If there's a HOWTO
or similar out there that I've missed, could someone please let me know
where it is?

Thank you.

PS. Sorry about the newbieness - there's just so much to learn about mapping
software and I'm a bit lost.
