[gentoo-user] Kbackup and dvd sized slices

[Dale]

HI,

I'm in the process of doing a set of DVD backups for some of my data.  I
usually tell it to do them in a DVD sized slice.  That option appears to
have disappeared from the menu.  Could someone who has it installed
check to see if they have the option available?  In case you are not to
familiar with it, open kbackup, then under the File menu, select Profile
Settings.  A box should pop up and if you click the little button under
Maximum Archive Size, it should show the available options.  Mine has
unlimited, 650Mb CD, 700Mb CD and custom.  The custom will not let me
enter anything in Gb.

Here is some info for my system in case I did something wrong:

There is really not a USE flags to change on this one.

Ideas?  Someone confirm it is just me or not just me?

Thanks.
