5GB each) that I need to archive to DVD so I'll have to span DVDs. The<br>
problem is I can't seem to find the appropriate magic incantations to<br>
accomplish this.<br>

The file image and burning tools tools available are genisoimage and<br>
wodim (unfortunately no mkisofs or cdrecord, thanks Debian).<br>

Everything I've found online so far starts wtih the assumption of a<br>
directory full of small files and to make multiple ISOs from those. But<br>
in this case a single file is bigger than the DVD and there are several<br>
files (about 40GB worth) to archive.<br>
