[newbie] Quota or no quota?
Same deal: I'm trying to get an ISO image onto my gateway machine, and I decided to finally do it with a CD. Okay, so I burned the CD and put it in the gateway machine, and tried copying it. File size limit exceeded What? The partition has 1.3GB available, and there is no quota for the user. What's this all about?! Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It's been a while since I did this so I'm not too sure. Try logging out then logging back in. If that doesn't work, do a reboot (the simplest way).
