Burning Live CD

[Allen Meyers]

Being a newbie is no excuse for this oversight if that is what this is all
about.
I used the only bland media I had at hand (dumb) it was DVD+RW
So if I am understanding  correctly I should be using an R not an RW and not
DVD.
After I hear back I will truck on down the road to wal-mart and get a better
burning media.

Thanks

Allen
