Hello everyone: I'm using SuSE 9.1 / 64-bit mode and I'm trying to make a copy of the SuSE 9.3 DVD before I do the install. Now, the new 9.3 is a dual-layer DVD (more than 8 Gigs of data). K3B can 'read' the DVD/DL when 'forced' but when it comes time to write, I get an alert that says the 'media' [the blank DVD/DL] is not recognized. My question: is K3B under SuSE 9.3 able to burn the dual-layer DVD/DLs? Or, is there another program I can use to burn my back-up copy. The burner does 'read' the dual-layer DVD/DLs so the problems seems to rest with the software. Any answers greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike

You can burn dual layer using k3b. I've done it by copying the Suse 9.3 dvd. John

The first dual layer burners appeared less than a year ago - and 9.1 appeared earlier. The 9.1 kernel and tools cannot write a dual layer DVD since the support is not implemented there. Reading is no problem.

We mastered the dual-layer DVD with 9.3, so it should work :-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
