I've been being told, over and over, by K3B, Brasero, and Isomaster, on two machines, with three different downloads of 6.0, that the file is too large for the medium. Nautilus and the browser that die each download all say it's 4.4 GB; I've tried with two +R and an RW DVD, all of which are labelled 4.7 GB Two of the files are 32-bit, and one is 64 What is going wrong?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

You are supposed to use "Burn DVD ISO Image" in K3B or similar in other burner apps. 32-bit version needs DVD-R, not DVD+R medium. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Therefore, what Nautilus and the browser call 4.4 Gb is what the DVD manufacturer calls 4.724 Gb, and that's why the image doesn't fit.
