I've been being told, over and over, by K3B, Brasero, and Isomaster, on two machines, with three different downloads of 6.0, that the file is too large for the medium. Nautilus and the browser that die each download all say it's 4.4 GB; I've tried with two +R and an RW DVD, all of which are labelled 4.7 GB Two of the files are 32-bit, and one is 64

Nautilus and the browser think that 1 Gb is 1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, while the DVD manufacturer thinks that 1 Gb is 1,000,000,000 bytes.

Therefore, what Nautilus and the browser call 4.4 Gb is what the DVD manufacturer calls 4.724 Gb, and that's why the image doesn't fit.
