ARGHHHHHHH!!!!! Worse!!! What appeared to be under *700*, wasn't:

So that must be why 8.2 burned fine on 80min (700MB) CDs and 9.0 CD3
burned fine on a 74min (650MB) CD...
Sure would be nice if the burn was rejected NON-silently... all my burns
were quietly turned into *simulation* burns with NO indication...
Thanks for the hint! Sure would have been nice if Mdk had avoided this
either by moving some stuff from CD{inst,ext} to CD{i18n}, or simply add
another CD... CD blanks are way cheaper than the lost time, and other
negatives triggered by this choice of sizes; but that discussion has
already happened.
Better, I'd have no objection to a script which lets the user create ISOs
of varying sizes... (probably already there :^)
I'll try overburn or head off to WalMart if that doesn't work either...
Thanks Ron!
