"When you don't know what you are talking about. Shut up". :-) You can't make a single file bigger than 2 GB in an ISO-Filesystem, corect. But that is a limitation in of the ISO-Filesystem itself. With any other filesystem (or not filesystem at all), that is capable of having bigger files, you don't have that problems. When you have a problem creating the 4.5GB Image-File then your system isn't up to date. Update the system or use the split-option of mkisofs. I burn DVD-Rs for more than a year now and from day one on i had never problems with file-sizes (*1) (*2) *1: Except that i had to patch the ISO-driver in Linux (kernel 2.4.9) to recognize files bigger than 1 GB. But that patch made into "normal" Linux a few revisions later. *2: I don't count the 2GB Limitation of ISO-fs as a problem. As it is conceptual there is nothing you can do about it.

No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
