[gentoo-user] Gentoo Universal PPC ISO size?
Hi, I'm going to put Gentoo on my Mac Mini. No one ever uses the machine for anything. So much for OS X I suppose. Anyway, the 2008 beta, located here: http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/ppc/2008.0_beta1/ is 745MB which doesn't fit on 700MB CD-Rs I have. Are there CD-Rs larger than 700MB? I looked online anf everything seemed to be 700MB also. Or am I supposed to write this to a DVD even thought the Gentoo docs say it's a CD-R image? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I looked online anf everything seemed to be 700MB also. I remember seeing and using 90-min (800MB) and even 100-min (900MB) CD-Rs in the past. Of course, don't expect them to work on every CD reader. My experience was that 800MB CD-Rs worked with most, but not all, CD readers. The only 900MB CD-R I ever wrote filling it completely was not readable by any CD reader among those I tried. Don't know whether they can still be found nowadays, now that DVDs are readily available. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Anyway, you can also try to burn more on a disk than it is supposed to. Don't ask me why it works, sometimes it does, sometimes you waste a CD-R... signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I assume it isn't (Guess I could just try it when I get a few minutes.) In the short term the easist thing to do was to download the 2007.0 iso as it doesn't have this issue since it's smaller.

K3b didn't seem to allow that. thanks for the info on the 800MB versions. - Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
