The M6 x86_64 DVD download is 4.8 GB. It's too big to burn on my Verbatim 4.7 GB DVD's!! Milestone 5 and all previous milestones were 4.4 GB.
Can you please upload the correct size forus to burn and test?
This is why double layer DVDs got invented.
But you do not need to waste media if you have a network connection.
Just "mount -o loop" the ISO file and export the tree via FTP, HTTP and/or NFS, then install the files boot/x86_64/loader/{initrd,linux} as a boot target and boot from it.

Not everyone has double-layer DVDs. I have always made it my goal to test the 64-bit DVD's and logging errors with Bugzilla.
All milestones have been around 4.4 GB and have always fit in 4.7 GB Verbatim DVDs. Why are they deviating from this unless it was an oversight?
I prefer testing on real hardware rather than a virtual environment.
FWIW, I test on real hardware and I use the loopback ISO and NFS approach. Most semi-modern network hardware comes with PXE-capable BIOSes. I can't be bothered to keep DVDs around and waste one every time I want to install a system with a new snapshot.

If I were to install M6 on another partition. What are the exact commands to install it using:
mount -o loop openSUSE-DVD-Build1034-x86_64.iso ?
