Hey guys, Thanks a lot for the CentOS 6 distro. I am having trouble burning the i386 dvds. I tried on a RHEL 6 deskop and also a CentOS 5 laptop. The command I am running on both systems is this: growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0=/home/gsgatlin/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD/CentOS-6.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso The error I am seeing is: :-( /dev/sr0: 2295104 blocks are free, 2297586 to be written! (Yes it puts a sad face on the command line) The DVD says DVD +R on it if that matters. I was able to burn the 64 bit dvd's ok with similar commands. (both #1 and #2) Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any ideas. Gary Gatling | ITECS Systems

It can be burnt succesfully on DVD-R." Peter.

It can be burnt succesfully on DVD-R. So if you have a DVD-R around.. try it! earl

I think the differennce in reliability is a red herring.There is a difference in the technology used for burning, and I've seen where DVD- burning did not work but DVD+ did in the same burner (I've also seen the opposite, and I've seen DVD burners that wouldn't burn or read CD's, too (optical issues with the laser's focus, since a DVD's depth of focus is shorter than a CD's)). And I'm not talking subtle errors, here, but whole files that are corrupted in massive ways. Apparently the DVD- code path in that burner's firmware interacts in a bad way with the DVD- code paths in wodim/growisofs where the DVD+ code paths in both the burner's firmware and in wodim/growisofs did not have the problem. (That's just a kind way of saying that the combination of the wodim DVD- code and the burner's DVD- code is buggy; neither is buggy by itself, but the combination is.) The same code with a different machine and different burner works fine.
