Oh. I thought there must be a filesize problem with ISO9660. Both GUIs I
tried told me that they can't handle that size, but I was OK after
splitting (which is probably a good thing anyway, >2GB is forbidden on
FAT32).

Man I wish people would move into the 21st century and remove
unnecessary file size restrictions. While we're at it, let's remove
unnecessary installs of Winblowz ;) 

Have fun,
