Greetings List,

I have been requested to install a particular version of linux called "Scientific Linux" onto a 
system.   I have obtained a DVD iso.

4.4G 2009-08-28 16:17 SL-52-100608-x86_64-DVD.iso

The image size listed is 4.4G which matches that on the source web page.   I have attempted to burn 
it using k3b and it will not run because k3b says that 4.4Gb is too big for a DVD.    The DVD+$ I 
have (from Staples) says it will hold up to 4.7 Gb.  The disk loaded into k3b with nothing on it 
indicates a size of 4.4Gb.

What should I do to burn a DVD iso of 4.4Gb?   Use a program other than k3b?   Use a different brand 
and/or type of DVD?

Suggestions appreciated, as always.

TIA,
megan
