Doing a clean install of CentOS 5 on a server and updating to latest state: Linux sable.cg-a.co.za 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 07:42:41 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 2. Using k3b - when doing this, do not select the "New data DVD project" option as this will not allow you to add the +-8GB iso file. Instead double click on the iso file and then on start. 3. Interestingly when this is done as root an error message: :-( unable to anonymously nmap 33554432: Resource temporarily unavailable Fatal error at startup: Resource temporarily unavailable is output and the process stops. 4. When running k3b as a normal user the process completes and the DVD is usable. 5. I am certain that it will also work using growidofs on the command line with the same options that k3b generates (although I have not verified this). 6. None of the above worked on my fully updated CentOS 4 box (it may have something to do with its being DOM0 for my virtual servers). Regards ChrisG
