When you burn the .iso file to DVD, k3b will convert it into a series of directories and files (mostly .rpms, but lots of other goodies, too) during the burning process. And you don't need a dual layer disk, either. Here's how I do it: 1. Place a blank DVD in your drive. (I use generic DVD-R disks because that's what I have.) 2. Start k3b. 3. Point it at the .iso file. k3b will automagically understand what it is supposed to do. 4. I always change the default settings to let k3b select the burn speed, and I also tell k3b to verify the written disk. 5. The burning process took a little over five minutes. 6. At the conclusion of the burning process, the disk is ejected and reinserted, and the verification process begins. FWIW, that took another 6+ minutes. 7. If all has gone well, the DVD is ejected and triumphal music is played. 8. Close k3b, and you're done. -- cmg
