However, some of the tools are meant for creating the image that will be burnt from ordinary files. In other words, the tools add in the headers needed to use the disc (make it bootable, make it recognised as a file system, etc.). But in some cases, the thing that you want to burn is already fully-prepared (such as system install ISOs), and adding another wrapper around that causes problems (if its not smart enough to avoid doing that). Giving you the ever-annoying situation where the DVD has one file burnt on it, the original ISO image as one large unusable file. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
