[nzlug] Gnome working directory

[Simon]

Well, clearly you want to invoke the CD/DVD creator so that it uses a
different directory for iso's, invoke it from the cli, or just use
growisoimage(1) directly instead of through a gui.

I suspect the last is the fastest. Of course, you can always increase
the size of your /home
