The Fedora x86-64 KDE ISO doesn't fit on a CD

[actaea]

K3B won't burn the ISO, because it won't fit on a CD. I suppose it can be burned to a DVD, but a blank DVD costs two to four times as much. Please try to keep the ISO's CD size--especially when they are so close (only 182kb).

Have you tried the overburn setting ?

Unfortunately, your feedback will produce no results here, since there are few (or no) Fedora developers monitoring these forums. Please direct your comments to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate

By the way, is k3b set to allow over-burning?

Thanks for telling me about overburning! I had disassembled the ISO and reassembled it without the flash screens to make it smaller.

I'm now wondering if it's worth communicating this to the developers in the appropriate channel. I suppose most people who want to try the Alpha will find out about overburning--if they read this forum, which is a logical place to look.

To get overburning in K3B, you pull down the Setting menu, select Configure K3B, select Advanced, and overburning is the second click box down.

I stopped using CD's to test the Alphas and Betas; USB flash all the way baby....

Hi,

Known issue.

As the post above indicates, it is way better to use USB's for testing.
