11.10 image is oversize

[MadMax2]

I've searched for this but couldn't find an answer.

I did an upgrade on the desktop and so far works fine.
I decided to download a disk for the laptop from:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

the file was supposed to fit on a CD

but properties:

ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso

raw CD image (application/x-cd-image)

729.1 MB (729,067,520 bytes)

Thanks

I assume these images only fit on DVD.
I did a checksum and it matched.

Apart from the 729.1 mb file that I can't burn as no DVD burner, once I got the hang of it everything works perfectly on my desktop. The laptop doesn't have a great deal of power but runs 11.04 but not with Unity desktop. I don't think I have room for more ram.

O.k I'm behind the times I didn't realize flash cards had got so big.
