Single layer DVDs are normally 4.7GB per side. I've been using 4600 *
1024 * 1024 as a size in my debian-cd setup (as I suggested in
CONF.SH) and it works fine for me. On the last build I did:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     4344446976 Jul 15 17:52 woody-i386-1.raw
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     275218432 Jul 15 17:53  woody-i386-2.raw
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     4570284032 Jul 15 18:41 woody-src-1.raw
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     302219264 Jul 15 18:42  woody-src-2.raw

The -2 discs are for non-free; it looks like woody source including
non-free will not fit on a single DVD, but everything else fits fine.

Sounds reasonable.

export DEFSRCSIZE=4600
export DEFBINSIZE=4600

Attila Nagy has been generating DVD images on fsn.hu lately as
well. Any positive/negative feedback there?
