To be on the safe side, I've settled on using 790 MB / 90 minute CD-R disks. -- Paolo There is a 3% difference in genetic material between us and apes.

You shouldn't have to use 90 minute CD-R discs with the ISOs. I have found these discs to be less reliable than 80 minute ones (they don't work with as many drives, that is). My drive (Plextor PlexWriter 10/12/32 S) supports overburning, though, so I can stuff almost 750 megs onto a 700 meg disc. -- -- Igor

I just bought some 700mb CD-RW disks from Walmart... I haven't tried burning beta 4 on them... I'm thinking of waiting for the next beta/RC .
