I'll bet that offices are generally stocked from catalogs where the price of a 
650MB is less than a 700MB.  I doubt that very many people buy fixed or 
quasi-re-writeable media based on price/MB storage.  Hence the outrage that I 
can't just go and swipe a few 650's and get the new distro.

By the way, we have a Red Hat based distro here at FNAL, on which the second 
install iso >650MB and my secretary only has 700MB RWs and my computer at 
home has a 6 year old cdrom drive that can't recognize RW discs.  I can't 
seem to make the Yamaha cd-writer bootable either.  Just an example of the 
aggravations possible.  Nothing insurmountable ;).

ps QT designer on the 9.1beta does not work.  Splash screen then some kind of 
corrupted list message from QT.
