Joey, Just change the debian-cd tool variable SIZELIMIT${CD} to something around the size of a DVD-R disk .... ie the exact change in debian-cd I used was: # make list COMPLETE=1 $SIZE_ARGS SRCSIZELIMIT=$((4000 * 1024 * 1024)) make list COMPLETE=1 SIZELIMIT1=4665000000 SRCSIZELIMIT=4665000000 Simple, as mkisofs does not really care what size file one creates. Of course one has to have the disk space, and up to date kernel/utils that will create a single file > 2G, but any woody/sid host should handle that if properly configured. Burning the DVD-R is another story. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is making noises about making cdrecord (pro) a "for-profit" piece of software, and has not released the code that will actually burn a DVD-R......but that is another story. Fortunately, I have access to a 'Primera Composer' There is no real-magic in making a Debian DVD;-) Ciao, - -- Jim Westveer - ------------------------------------------------------------ You are standing in a maze of twisty little passages, that all look alike.
