Though this doesn't keep Tails safe from potential viruses if you install it to the USB from an infected PC.
or if the USB gets tampered. Does it fit on 4.7 GB DVD-R?

Well I'm not sure haha. I'd say yes because I've put it on a 4GB drive drive a few times. However I noticed they mention it requires an 8GB drive. I'm not with it this moment so I can't check the size post-install but they say at least 8GB now. I know it used to be lower at some point.
I haven't put it on a Dvdr before, but I do recall doing that with a similar OS a few years ago, so I'm sure it's possible in some way. It would be pretty satisfying to have it on a disc too!
I looked into this and they have DVD burning option on their website. I guess it is not same as installing, the install process may let you create an encrypted storage partition but there would be no use for that on a read-only medium. I prefer read only medium for read only images because only then it's truly read only, unless one swaps the disc of course.
