[cumbria_lug] verifying postal media

[John Patterson]

What (maximum) capacity CD are you using?  I have NEVER been able to 
burn an ISO successfully and I suspect that this may be due to the CDs 
that I have in stock.  All the Ubuntu downloads that I make seem to be 
larger than commonly available blank CDs.  According to Wikipeadia the 
specification for CDs may be larger capacity.  Using DVDs didn't work.

I use magazine disks for installation and re-installation and not a 
burned ISO.
