It's always asking me for a dual layer disk also and it still take regular DVD+R though I've never been able to succesfully burn a DVD-R even with 2 different burners, using k3b, growisofs, xcdroast and cdrecord. And one burner was testing under WinXP and did succesfully burn a DVD-R. I also tried with a Knoppix or Ubuntu live CD and got the same results so it's not something that's related to Fedora specifically but at a lower level. So I'm gonna be using DVD+Rs for now until I can find a solution that will allow me to burn DVD-Rs. -- Jean-Rene Cormier <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
