Heya,
I'm in a bit of an odd position right now. I have tons of DVD+Rs, but no CD-Rs So, I'd like to burn some bootable CD images (Arch, for example) to DVD. Is there anything special I need to do? I'm asking because I'd prefer not to waste discs experimenting. The only stuff I've found Googling is taking the CDs from distros that don't offer a DVD install and merging them - that, and making a special DVD with multiple LiveCDs. If I just want to burn a bootable CD ISO to a DVD, what should I do? Proceed as if it's a DVD image? Will that cause problems because of the different filesystem of CDs vs DVDs?
Thanks!

I've done this alot (for the same reasons), and never done anything special or had any issues.

I tried doing this when I had OpenSUSE 11.1 and it never booted for some reason, wasted 2 DVDs. Eventually I found a CD floating around somewhere and it worked great.
Can't be of much help as I didn't figure out what the problem was.

I just use a single DVD rw for all my cd/dvd iso needs. It works fine without any special change. And i usually use bashburn if that helps.... I guess it does some auto detections stuff.....
