I tried burning it to a normal (Tesco's own brand) CD-R with overburn enabled in K3b and the CD worked fine, but the switch off button in KDE didn't work... not a big problem but annoying. Then I just stuck a re-writable DVD in and used the standard Gnome CD burner and it works a treat, I double clicked the ISO while the disk was in.
I would say though that try reducing the burn speed, I always have it slow for data discs, just to make sure it all gets burned OK.
I think you can get CD-R that can hold up to 800Mb, so one of those would do for you, if the burn the ISO to a DVD doesn't work for you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok seriously - what is the secret. Is there such a thing as a high capacity CDR or something??
Seems odd I haven't found a solution??

Must be burned as an image, not data.

Thanks for the help. I couldn't immediately find an 800Mb CDR but a helpful poster steered me to imgburn which wrote the iso to DVD beautifullay.
Thanks all
I solved it by activating overburn in nero ...
boots fine (098)
