no problem for me. 700 is fine, as I don't think people will (should ? ;) 
install mdk9 on an old mac, and 700mb cdr are cheap now.
and if we can have more that's good :)

I'm OK to have 700MB iso.
I don't plan to install my mdk-ppc on old mac...

I don't mind to have 700 Mb either. I only install on relatively new 
hardware.

I can use either.  I've been using 650MB RW discs from work (which is nice,
since I can format them and put the new beta on it), but I can switch to 800MB
CDR's from home if necessary.  I say, if you can do more with 700MB discs then
do it.

Doesn't make a whole lot of difference to me.  
My Titanium reads them just fine.

Seems to be working here, built Feb 8, 2003

[stew@powerbook perl-install]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/designer-qt3
libqt3-devel-3.1.1-9mdk

Probably newer than the ISO - can you try to update?

I'll bet that offices are generally stocked from catalogs where the price of a 
650MB is less than a 700MB.  I doubt that very many people buy fixed or 
quasi-re-writeable media based on price/MB storage.  Hence the outrage that I 
can't just go and swipe a few 650's and get the new distro.

By the way, we have a Red Hat based distro here at FNAL, on which the second 
install iso >650MB and my secretary only has 700MB RWs and my computer at 
home has a 6 year old cdrom drive that can't recognize RW discs.  I can't 
seem to make the Yamaha cd-writer bootable either.  Just an example of the 
aggravations possible.  Nothing insurmountable ;).

ps QT designer on the 9.1beta does not work.  Splash screen then some kind of 
corrupted list message from QT.

Stew,

Fine to me, I don't actually burn CD's, only download and loop-mount them.
