Hi,
you can also burn it to a DL (dual layer) DVD (like the Centos 8 image).

Michel

I need help from someone experienced with the CentOS bug tracking system. I gotta say it is one of the most complicated and imposing front ends I've ever seen. Could anyone familiar with it please file a bug on my behalf? Particulars:
"CentOS 7.9.2009 DVD iso image too large"
ISO image: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso 4.7GB raw CD image Wed Nov 4 05:37:25 2020 Burners: Both K3B and Brasero Media: Both DVD-R and DVD+R single-layer disks
iso image: 4,712,300,544 bytes User Anthony F McInerney advises Wikipedia says DVD-R capacity: 4,707,319,808 bytes (max)
I have tried burning this same iso image on two different machines: a CentOS 7.9 server and a Fedora 33 laptop. Same failure on both.
We need to ask the developers to make a re-spin that's about 5MB smaller. And before someone suggests it, the 2010-vintage server I'm trying to install CentOS on does not support booting from a thumb drive, so that option is not available.
Thanks,
