FWIW, I think a good argument cxan be made that Mandrake's decision to 
require larger CDs is a bit of a false economy. It is bound to cause some 
non-negligible percentage of people problems (as we have already seen). 

It isn't obvious (to me, anyway) what would be the real difficulty in 
supplying four ordinary-sized ISO images instead. It would be interesting 
to hear from a Mandrake person what the rationale for the change might be.

  Doc

PS I am doubtless in a substantial minority of readers of this list, but 
the only machines to which I have access and which can write CDs all run 
only Windows and cannot write the larger discs.

Actually, I believe that you can fit something like 702MB on a 700MB disk 
and if you have a recent version of something like gcombust, it is able to 
recognize 700+ cd-r's.  It's actually pretty straight forward.  Or as it's 
already been mentioned, just use the commandline cdrecord and it will do 
the same thing.

Jerry,
   I may be wrong but my expeience with a number of GUI based
Burner programs is that they won't burn larger than 650mbs to a
disk.  Even if you have an 800mb CD-W disk and burner.(Windows and
Linux don't know on MAC) But cdrecord from the command line burns
well.

From a command line type:

cdrecord -v speed=xx dev=X,X,X -data nameofiso.iso

Where the xx is the speed your burning at (I'd recommend burning
at a little less than the maximum CD burners give you better
results then.) and X,X,X is the dev.

To find the Dev you need 

cdrecord -scanbus  

You should get an output that looks something like this.

I may be wrong but my expeience with a number of GUI based
 Burner programs is that they won't burn larger than 650mbs to a
 disk.  Even if you have an 800mb CD-W disk and burner.(Windows and
 Linux don't know on MAC) But cdrecord from the command line burns
 well.
 
 From a command line type:
 
 cdrecord -v speed=xx dev=X,X,X -data nameofiso.iso
 
 Where the xx is the speed your burning at (I'd recommend burning
 at a little less than the maximum CD burners give you better
 results then.) and X,X,X is the dev.
 
 To find the Dev you need
 
 cdrecord -scanbus
 
 You should get an output that looks something like this.

 If you notice Mine has two items on the bus and my CD-RW is on

 cdrecord -v speed=12 dev=0,0,0 -data cd1.iso

 I have 9,0beta installed now happily using it.

   'Brand' is a misnomer when it comes to cdr's. They're rarely if ever 
are made by the brand they're sold under. Most are, CMC Magnetics, 
Ritek, or Taiyo Yuden.  Ty-U's are often the best.  Short of shoppin 
brands, greener is usually better'r, since you can't go by brands till 
you see the ATIP info from those you already bought.  I've got half way 
thru a 50 spindle only to find out the cdr's were actually from two 
different manufacturers.  IIRC it was a TDK spindle. Started out with 
T-U's (good stuff), rest of the spindle was Ritek (a little better than 
CMC, but still sort'a disappointing).

   As to 'read-ability', cdr media is often the weakest link, but keep 
in mind that cd-rw drives and cdroms use a slightly different laser 
wave length.  Many burned CD's that a cdrom drive, specially one that's 
been in use for some time and the axle's gettin some wear/wobble in it, 
or it advertises 32x or above and sounds like a lawn mower engine 
spinn'n up, probly won't be very good at reading cdr's.

Well, perhaps the machines you are using can't write disks larger than
650 MB, but that is not a limitation of Windows.  I use Easy Cd Creator
(like version 3.5 b or c) on Win95 and can burn 700 MB no problem
(which, as others on the thread have pointed out) can actually be 703
MB.
