Hello, I've downloaded FreeBSD-10.0-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso and after trying to burn it on a 700 MB CD I noticed the size will not fit. The ISO size it's roughly 744MB. I would say this is too big for normal CD size (650) and even for the bigger ones (700 MB). I know there are still bigger CD-RW's but they're less common. Is there any plan on trying to reduce the size of the image so it does fit on a 700 MB CD before the release is out? Thanks a lot. Regards. Victor. -- La prueba m?s fehaciente de que existe vida inteligente en otros planetas, es que no han intentado contactar con nosotros.

List of sizes: http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/cdroms.html Those who need to fix this are <re at freebsd.org> I've added To: line. I suggest re@ add a checker to release Makefile, mine is available free: http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/filesize/ I wrote it 1988 (on); It was used by my personal release Makefile that built FreeBSD live CDs in 2001.

Can you even buy a cd only drive? Here is Australia you'd have trouble finding a non-recordable dvd drive. For at least 5 years now I have used dvd media even for cd size images just to take advantage of the extra transfer speed. In case you don't get that point - cd x52 = 63.8Mbit/s dvd x16 = 177.28Mbit/s The same data on dvd media can transfer about 3x faster. That's before you account for having to swap cd's during install. How many machines running today have a cd only drive?
