    Exclamation gutsy-dvd-i386.iso - invalid size

    FYI, the max size of a DVD is 4 500 000 000 bytes.
    http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/curren...y-dvd-i386.iso has 4 836 792 320 bytes (also when mounted), which is 4.50GB.
    As result noone can burn it correctly.

    Many of the DVD'sare too big (edubuntu comes to mind) & also even the daily live build CD of Gutsy is 701MB! This won't fit onto a cd. Anyone know where we can msg to find out if the compilers are aware of this?

    Question Re: gutsy-dvd-i386.iso - invalid size

    I plan to download gusty-dvd-i386.iso daily (from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ ) using jigdo (so that I can just update this image later on final release in Oct 07) but I observed that the size of gutsy-dvd-i386.template is 673MB. This is almost CD size where as other .template file are around 2MB. Just wondering why is gutsy-dvd-i386.template a huge template?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.
    regards
    Vig

    So did someone mess up with the DVD? I downloaded it aswell and noticed the same thing. Quite annoying that after almost two hours of downloading the iso is useless.

    Anyone with comments?

    It feels kida lame to waste a dual layer disc for just 100MB don't you think. Wouldn't it be better if they thought a little about this when creating the disc and maybe remove some things?

    I have the same problem with yesterdays amd64 iso. Great, I downloaded 4,6GB for nothing. There's no way I'm burning it to a dual layer disc.

    Well, you could always buy a rewriteable dual layer dvd. That's what I think I'm going to do. It still feels quite weird that they haven't fixed this problem. They now about it anyway, as there are those ...OVERSIZED -files there.

    btw, who are the people that put the images there?

    I burn all my operating systems to rewritable discs as new versions come all the time. Dual layer RW? Never heard of those and I keep buying new different kinds of media frequently.
