Not enough room for i386-DVD.iso on DVD+R or DVD-R

[jjrowan]

Downloaded the i386 DVD ISO but attempts on three different computers to burn to either DVD+R or DVD-R failed.

Ended up mounting ISO image on Linux box, copying contents to a Linux formatted USB drive (HPFS failed to find install.img), booted from bootnet.iso CD but install failed looking for the ISO. I copied the ISO to root of USB disk leaving full contents from earlier copy there as well, ran the install and this time it ran successfully.

Hi!

I downloaded and burned successfully the i386 DVD image and installed a system from it, which size (exact size, in bytes) is the file you downloaded? and which is its MD5sum?

Regards.

The failure of DVD+R is to be expected, as documented in the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.0]release notes[/url]. DVD-R or dual-layer [i]should[/i] work. This is the first report I have seen of a DVD-R burn problem. As well as the information requested by [b]skolnick[/b] please tell us what software you used for the attempted burns and the exact errors encountered.

I tried burning to DVD-R on a Windows 7 computer, right clicked on ISO, used burn ISO image to DVD option, that failed.
Copied ISO onto OS/X Snow Leopard, tried using Finder to burn, to DVD-R, that too said image too large for media.

Have you checked the md5sum or sha1sum of the downloaded ISO file?

I burned mine on OSX Snow Leopard using disk utility and it worked fine. I think finder burns it as a file, not as an ISO image therefore it reports the file it;s too big.
