Thanks. I'll check that out.

Do you know if it's legal to write a CD-R iso image to a DVD? I assume
it isn't.... (Guess I could just try it when I get a few minutes.)

In the short term the easist thing to do was to download the 2007.0
iso as it doesn't have this issue since it's smaller.

Thanks,
Mark
