Hello Mogens,

    I am sorry that I didn't say that the DVD+RW drive replaced the old 
DVD-ROM drive and that only the DVD+RW drive is present.  It also seems 
that I already have the dvd+rw-tools already installed.  However, I am 
still not able to write the Fedora Core 6 DVD.iso file to a DVD+R disk. 
The error that I continue to get states that the file is too large to be 
written to the disk.  I already used another disk to see if there is a 
problem with the drive itself and it reads DVD video disks fine. I also 
used the two commands above but still without success.  I am also using 
K3B as the burning software, but it doesn't seem to be the software 
itself because the same problem happens with Gnomebaker as well.  Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.
