I don't think this matters - as long as your ISO image is not larger than the CD driver's limit it shouldn't care that the media can hold more than that.

Re: How do you upgrade RH without booting from CD?
So it turns out that the machine I picked up (200NIS) has a CD ROM drive that will only read 650MB CDs and the bios on the Motherboard is too old to recognize newer larger drives. Is it still possible (I know it used to be on older distros of RH) to boot off a floppy and install over something like NFS (off my laptop which can read the larger CDs). Also, are there places (in the Jerusalem area) that still sell the older 650MB CDs?

You can find its image on the Debian 3 install CD. You can also, if I am not mistaken, download the image from the home page of smart boot manager, or get one from me, by visiting me (I live in Rehovot) or by mail.

How do you upgrade RH without booting from CD?
I just picked up an old P200 that I want to make a small webserver for the house. I couldn't get the system to boot the RH9 CD, but it did boot an old RH 6.2 CD. So I installed RH 6.2 (1 CD, took about 15 min) and now I can mount the RH 9 CD, but I'm not sure how I can get the system to upgrade. Is there some kind of script or special secret command I can execute to install the system off the already mounted CD? BTW - I had forgotten how bare bones RH 6.2 installs. No SSH(d) only telnet and ftp. Lots of bad ports open. Very scary. :-) Thanx.
