F12-i386-DVD iso won't burn properly

[Don Quixote de la Mancha]

Try burning it with wodim.  It's a command-line tool; you'll need to
read wodim's man page, which will require a bit of study.

One reason is that wodim is likely to succeed where other burners
fail.  The other is that wodim will give extremely detailed error
messages if something goes wrong.

I don't recall the precise command line you will need, so please do
look up the man page, but it will be something like:

  $ sudo wodim -v speed=1 dev=/dev/cdrw -sao Foo.iso

"-sao" means Session at Once, which is what you want if you're burning
the entire disc from a single ISO file.

Replace "/dev/cdrw" with your burner's actual filename - but /dev/cdrw
is probably what you want.

If it still borks, copy all of wodim's output to the clipboard and
paste it into a reply to this thread.
