As far as I am concerned I remove unused file. But This time I belive that you are wrong. That's true doc/ is not very well documented and should be cleaned, but that's another issue.

Official jigdo files for the "testing" distribution on DVD
Hi, why does the sarge-i386-1.iso have 4485 MB? DVD+R/RW have only 4483 MB and so it is not possible to burn the iso on a DVD+R/RW. greeting Thomas Kratz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If someone knows, I'd like to know it too - or a way to probe how much data a given DVD media can take (I know at least Nero does some checking under windows, but is there any way in debian?). But to the first problem: I build images right out of a local debian mirror with debian-cd tools - and since some time ago, I have problems with too large images too: teefix:/mirror2/mirror/debian-cd$ ls -lah sid-i386-* - -rw-r--r-- 1 ifjke ifjke 702M Sep 3 21:06 sid-i386-1.raw - -rw-r--r-- 1 ifjke ifjke 684M Sep 3 21:08 sid-i386-10.raw - -rw-r--r-- 1 ifjke ifjke 682M Sep 3 21:09 sid-i386-11.raw And in CONF.sh the limit is set to: export DEFBINSIZE=675 That ~680 MB ist not exactly 675MB as set in CONF.sh if of differnt rounding of bytes to MB. But all except the first image are about 680MB which is 20MB larger. I think there was a thread here some time ago about this.

I also have the same problem - I can't burn September's 1 sarge-i386-1.iso DVD on DVD+RW media. I got an error message informing, that iso image contains more sectors than are available on DVD+RW media. I formated DVD+RW with dvd+rw-format utility (with -force or -blank options, I don't remember now), but this doesn't help :( Available sectors count on DVD+RW media and iso image sectors count is bigger only in few hundreds (AFAIK sector's size is 2 KB), so I think we should make iso image smaller only in few megabytes.

Thanks for that. I don't have any DVD+RW media handy to be able to grab that information. The easiest number to remember is probably 47 bytes. If we're under that, we should be covered OK for all the common DVD formats, just like 68000 bytes is a safe max for normal CD ISO images. Does anybody out there have a DL DVD drive and media yet? The maximum LBA on DVD+R DL media would also be a useful piece of information... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.[EMAIL PROTECTED] We don't need no education.
