Re: [orca-list] downloading ubuntu image

["Mohammed Al-shar'" <mohammed atexplorer com>]

hello yokoy,

first thank you very much. you say: "Also, try to overburn a normal cdr 
instead of using a DVD - should work." sorry for the very basic question, 
but how does one overburn a CD? Nero and infraRecorder don't seem to have 
such an option.  they eject the cd if it was insufficient.

thanks
Mohammed Al-shar'
