According to wikipedia DVD-R gets you the closest: 4,707,319,808
(MAX)
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso bytes: 4,712,300,544
It's only slightly over, it's possible that at least k3b and maybe
xfburn supports 'overburn' . (I remember this more from the CD days
than DVD though).
Otherwise I wonder if you could use 'ISO Master' and downsize it
slightly.
Anthony,
THANK YOU. Yours is precisely the answer I was looking for. That iso
file should never have been released as part of the general
distribution.
I wonder how I could ask for that iso to be rebuilt to a size that fits
on a blank DVD.
