Sorry, I renamed them because I have images going back to 5.2 and
get confused with the "enigma", "cartman", etc. names.  Here's the
translation:

	My Name	 
		Your name
	redhat-7.2-disk1-intel.iso	enigma-i386-disc1.iso
	redhat-7.2-disk2-intel.iso	enigma-i386-disc2.iso

I suspect that the 650MB disks may be the problem.  The actual sizes
(in MB) are: disc1, 648MB; disc2, 640MB.  If you add in the lead-in,
lead-out tracks (10MB each), I think we're over the 650MB limit.
Sorry.  You can still use your 650MB disks for other stuff, just not
for this.

I don't normally use DAO mode, but that shouldn't be a problem.
