I finally got a chance to work on this.  Since my last posting I have 
done a emerge -e world.  That was several days ago.  Anyway, this is 
what I get now:

On the screen that usually shows the progress, it says "Fatal error at 
startup: No space left on device."  The main screen where I select files 
shows there is space left.  It shows about 1Mb or so left.

I also have a much smaller slice for the backup.  When I burn it, it 
gives a error that mkisofs crashed.  Go figure.  I'm pretty sure I am 
using the version that failed before.

Let me know what you want me to try and what version you want to test.  
You are the DVD expert so may as well follow your lead on this one.  ;-)
