Ubuntu live CD of 700MB?

[Tylerp99]

So i was wanting to make a live CD for ubuntu, but upon getting the .ISO i found that the .ISO was 709MB, and my disc is 700MB.

How could i precede in making this live CD?

If i use some sort of over burning software, will the live CD work, and please recommend a software to do so if it does indeed work.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Which version of Ubuntu is it? I never had any version exceeding the size of 699 MB till now. Where did you download it from?

10.10 (Latest build) I got it directly from ubuntu.com
NOTE: I have not attempted to burn it yet, i was just wondering if i would have any problems since windows explorer says its 709MB and my disc is specs are:
CD-RW
Speed - 1x to 4x
700MB/80 Minutes

This would confirm the problem, if any.

Check the MD5SUMs as per instructions here. Do they match?

I've decided to take my chances and burn it using nero, if i have any success i will change this post to 'solved'

It might be due to a miscalculation. 1 kB = 1024 B, 1 MB = 1024*1024 B and so on.

If you read 709.000.000 bytes, the ISO will still fit on a CD.

Nero read the image as less than 700MB, so probably a miscalculation like you said, anyway, thanks for the help!

MB vs MiB :)

I threw a wrench in that works when I filed this bug report:

And I wonder why I'm not loved :lolflag:

Just wondered how you got on with the Nero-burned image ? I tried to burn an oversize image with Brasero and it just plain refused saying the media is too small.

(Trying to burn latest beta build of Natty by the way)
