Hey, good point. My PC to Mac convert emailed me to question if a 700 MB CD is large enough to make a back-up copy of the Panther installer disk. He says it seems to have 743 MB of data on it and wonders if there is a CD-R that holds that much. He seems to believe the install disk is a CD and not a DVD.
It's gotta be a DVD with that size, right? Unless Apple uses special high-capacity CD-Rs for their OS installers. Or I am missing something regarding compression during the making and burning of the disk image.
My Jaguar Installer is definitely a CD but it's only 630 MB of data.
Nope, it is a CD, I checked that a couple of ways. And there are 800Mb CD-R disks out there. I only found out about them when I found the Panther installer disk was so big. What I couldn't find is whether the Super Drive in my iBook will burn them. Nor could I find anything about how big a disk I could burn with Disk Burner in the OS.
I ran into a similar problem trying to duplicate the XServe install disks. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
