Perhaps I'm missing something, but how does one "master" for a DVD rather than 
a CD.  mkisofs is mkisofs.  I don't recall any specific settings for CD or 
DVD or dual layer DVD or....  it's just an iso of a specific size.  Sounds 
like a bug in Nero.

The idea was not to fill it up to DVD size, it was to use the same package set 
as the i386 but overflow due to multilib and larger binary sizes.  We still 
wanted it to be a small(ish) download in comparison to the Fedora spin.
