A DVD image is WAY too big to be cut and pasted (which is what I think
is what the operation is trying to do).

You need to copy the file from the laptop to the Fedora machine using
something like scp or rsync or FTP. Drag and drop won't work across two
machines unless it's tied to some copy protocol.
