[SOLVED] Can the 700MB Ubuntu CD-image be burned on a DVD instead of a CD?

[susanne260]

Tried searching, but got a few very old threads, so I'm wondering if it
still applies. It doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere in here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto) either...

Is it possible to burn the 700MB Ubuntu CD-image to a DVD instead of a CD?
If so, are there any disadvantages to this (except the obvious fact of not
being able to use that DVD in a computer that only has a CD-drive)? :p

Yes; you can.

Great, thanks for answering! =)

I actually prefer to do it that way because of the speed increase (dvd's have noticeably faster access times than cd's)

Heh, you're right about that. Good point! ^^_

Thank you for confirming that. I've always suspected, but never bothered to research that point.
I've practically quit buying CD's these days; DVD's on sale are practically being given away.
