The image is for a DVD, not a CDROM. The reason is because he didn't

Yeah, I just tumbled to that. My MD5SUM was spot on, BTW.
Hmm ... I have never successfully burned a DVD on my home equipment. Gonna
have to move the image to a box with the right burner and then Run A
Program. That means the KnoppMyth box and (hopefully) whatever burning GUI
it has.
Suggestions? Maybe command line cdrecord.
The command line way of burning DVD is with growisofs, part of the
dvd+rw-tools package. To burn a DVD:
1) Put a blank DVD+R or DVD-R in the burner.
2) Disable any "help" from the desktop (if running). In particular,
GNOME is really bad about trying to grab your devices.
3) At the command line, do:
# growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=MythDora-3.2.iso
Substitute your correct DVD device for /dev/hdd.
cdrecord has some patches to it to allow burning DVD's but for some
reason it fails on DVD+R, at least on my burner.
You probably want to make sure you have the latest dvd+rw-tools, which
is dvd+rw-tools-7.0-0.fc5.4 (as of 01/01/2007)
