Hi list,
Excuse me for asking a question which is a little bit off-topic. I
recently wanted to transfer a 2,9 GB file from a DVD+R disc to my
Linux partition. The problem was that the file seemed to be no larger
than about 11 MB! I finally had to boot into DOS, copy the file to a
FAT32 partition and then boot into Linux and move the file to the
Linux partition. Why is this? I mounted the DVD+R as ISO9660, was
this wrong? It appears to have been working before.
Regards,
/David R.
