I've got one of my machines off-line so I can do a fresh install of Fedora Core 6. I needed to save most of the data on the hard drives off to DVD so I can re-partition. To save space I've done tar gzip on specific branches of my tree that I needed to save. There is one branch in my tree is approximately 12.8 GB in size. So I tar gzipped the tree and it came to about 7.3 GB. So I started burning a dual-layer DVD for this file and that's when I learned that K3b (I use KDE for my desktop) won't copy a file larger than 4 GB. Using K3b, can I create a ISO image for a dual-layer DVD that contains a file larger than 4GB, then burn that ISO image to DVD? Does anyone know another way? I can un-tar the file and try to create several tar files that are smaller than 4 GB. But, shouldn't I be able to process a single file larger than 4 GB? Thanks, Gene Poole
