Oversized message for DVDs is misleading

[Steve Kowalik]

The Ubuntu DVD builds are currently oversized. The message added to the web page currently states:

Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 700MB CD. However, you may still test it using a DVD, a USB drive, or a virtual machine.

Obviously, if the DVD images are oversized, they will no longer fit on a single-layer DVD, so the code should be smarter about this case.

I agree; the message should be very clear about DVD images also being oversized now.

NOTE: This bug is *only* for the message being generated; not for the oversized iso generator.

The message reads about 2). Choose this if you are at all unsure.
Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 703MiB CD. (it is 3.4GB so of course it wouldn't)

Should this say DVD and it is 3.4GB in size, most people nowadays will be using either USB 4GB+ or VM as we know most companies scrapped including a DVD/CD reader with machines most people use USB.
