Hi,

Cyril Brulebois mentioned that the size limit for amd64-netinst is
currently 1G.

The 951 MiB of debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso will not fit on any
commercially available CD type. The largest CD-Rs which i know claim
to take "900 MB" (and that only if the CD drive is willing to overburn
that much). A hard limit for CD size is the adressing mode by a triple
of "minute":"second":"frame" where "minute" is restricted to two
digits. I.e. 100 audio minutes is the first illegal address.
That's 100 * 60 * 75 = 450,000 sectors = 921,600,000 data bytes =
878.90625 data MiB.

So it seems about time that the "iso-cd" directories in
  https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/*/*/amd64
get renamed to something like "iso-netinst".


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
