 <p>If you have enabled the workaround to create a ISO file that contains no disk image (required if the size of the image is over 4,4 gigabytes), things become much more problematic. The ISO file and the image can't be burned to the disc simultaneously, they must be written one-by-one. That requires two burning sessions: the first for writing the ISO file to the disc and the second for adding the disk image. Many burning programs don't even support multisession burning at all. About the programs I've mentioned in this page: <b>K3b</b> supports multisession burning, <b>ImgBurn</b> doesn't.<br><br>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 I didn't find any instructions for adding an additional file to a spesific directory by using <b>K3b</b>. Actually, I don't even know if that's possible at all. Thus, I recommend using <b>growisofs</b> for burning the disc if the workaround has been enabled, because <b>growisofs</b> allows adding any file to any directory. However, there's one more limitation: <b>growisofs</b> doesn't support multisession burning on dual layer DVD-R discs, so you must use dual layer DVD+R or Blu-ray disc. (<a href="http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/-RW/#nomultisess" target="_blank">source</a>)<br><br>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <b>Growisofs</b> is a command-line program and a part of <b>dvd+rw-tools</b> that is installed on most GNU/Linux distributions. <b>Dvd+rw-tools</b> is Linux-only software, so if you use a competing operating system, you must boot into <b>SystemRescueCD</b> (graphical mode is not needed) in order to burn the disc.<br><br>

 Open terminal and mount the partition that contains the image. The commands below must be run as root.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">mkdir /media/usb<br>  
 mount /dev/<font color="Green">sdc1</font> /media/usb</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p><b>Note:</b> How a command can be run as root depends on the GNU/Linux distribution you use.  If it's Ubuntu or a distro based on it, simply put "<b>sudo</b>" above the command. For example, the latter of the above commands can be executed by typing "<b>sudo mount /dev/<font color="Green">sdc1</font> /media/usb</b>". If you're using <b>SystemRescueCD</b>, all commands are run as root, so you don't need to add any prefix to the commands.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p><b>Note:</b> In the command replace <b>/dev/<font color="Green">sdc1</font></b> with the partition where the disk image resides. It's the same partition you mounted as <b>/home/partimag</b> when creating the image.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p>Go to root of the partition:</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">cd /media/usb</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p>Burn the ISO file to the disc:</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=clonezilla-live-<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font>.iso</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p><b>Note:</b> In the last command I have assumed your ISO file is <b>clonezilla-live-<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font>.iso</b>. You will have to replace this with the actual name of the file.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p><b>Note:</b> If your computer has multiple DVD drives, replace <b>/dev/dvd</b> with the name of your DVD writer.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p>The disc must be ejected because it's the only known way to force the drive to reread the disc. Do it:</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">eject /dev/dvd</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p><b>Note:</b> If your drive can't reload the disc, insert the disc back right after ejecting it.</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p>Finally, add the image file to the disc:</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J -V "<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font>" --publisher "<font color="Green">Your Name</font>" -graft-points /<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font>/=/media/usb/<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font></p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p><b>Note:</b> In the command replace <b><font color="Green">Your Name</font></b> with anything you want to be the publisher ID of the disc. If you don't want the disc to have any publisher ID, run this command instead:</p>  
 <!--empty line-->  
 <p class="newcode">growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J -V "<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font>" -graft-points /<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font>/=/media/usb/<font color="Green">Backup_5-2010_hdb</font></p>
