No Prob. I make/use >4GB images for more than 2 years now. As long as you have a current(tm) distribution and a >=2.4.0 kernel there is no problem. (And "current" here means that the distribtion compiled with a kernel >=2.4.0, so that LFS is enabled) 2 years ago i had to compile my own mkisofs, because "back then" the SuSE-mkisofs wasn't compiled correctly(tm). > (if yes: why is the Debian DVD image not > 4 GB ?) They don't need the size? They want downloaders to be able to download it with Windows 95/98? (AFAIK 4GB is the maximum filesize for FAT32) Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women.
