I think you should diff between "MiNT" partitions and ISO file formats.

ISO Images Filesystems have nothing to do with ext2 ... But if there is an
limit for ext2 partitions, then there is maybe an problem putting such an
large block of data onto the ext2 partition ( for example 4GB ISO on 2 GB
ext2 partition). The limit can also be there because of the Disc... maybe
it's an small DVD =) ?

Do you have an FAT32 partition (> 4 GB) available for your MiNT setup? You
could try that. And I assume you will need the HDDriver ...  At least you
will need such an big partition, because I assume the CD Writer Suite
wants to create the CDROM ISO Filesystem before writing it - the opposite
is called "On the fly" recording.

Good luck,
