FC3rc1 disk one small

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I've now downloaded al 4 iso's for rc1, including disk 1 twice.
Unforch, while the Mozilla downloader thinks disk 1 is complete, the 
size of the disk 1 file as it shows it in its dl window is only 
156550 KB.  According to the MD5SUM file in that directory, there 
should be a dvd iso, but its not there, and the md5sum is correct.  
All 4 are correct in fact.

However, says he, scratching head in puzzlement, an ls -l does show a 
nearly full cd's file size at 630525952 Oct 25 07:46 
FC3-i386-disc1.iso.  Methinks Mozilla has a bug or 2.  When dl'ing, 
the reported speeds exceeded my dsl bandwidth by about 50% too.

The rescue iso is coming in now.  And at the correct 82KB/sec.  Redhat 
must have put some bigger iron in that downloads box, I usually only 
get 3 to 15 KB/sec out of any redhat src machine, with long pauses in 
the data flow, presumably due to small pipes.  Amazing, and kudo's to 
redhat for fixing that!  The srcs will be equally pleasureable to get 
at this rate.

Several Silly Q's dept:
  Running 2.6.9 on an FC2 system with all ext3 filesystems, and that 
'mkdvd-1.0' out of cd iso's script, can I put the src iso's on that 
same RW dvd?

  Is the resultant dvd iso too big for either the filesystem or the 
actual disk?

  How do I assure that such a script built dvd image remains bootable 
like the disk one cd is when burning it with a recent k3b?
