I just purchased a new CD recorder and am having an issue with cdrecord. It
seems like it can't make 552M fit on a CD. What's interesting is that the
inst data DID fit on to a single CD, but although the CD looked good, it
wasn't installable on my other system - it just hung initializing the CDROM
(it got past the second stage ramdisk, which suggests that it could
physically read the CD anyway).
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
.../Ed
