Size does matter
 
I've noticed that the distros I want to try out are in the .iso format and that's fine with me. My problem is that most of the distros come in .iso images more than the capacity of my cd-rw disks which has a total capacity of 659mb. Most distros come in larger .iso images like 700mb or more. Didn't these people think to account for the smaller sized blank media. Anyway that is my situation and I'm trying to find a solution that will enable me to fit this large sized .iso image onto the disks that I have. Does anyone have any ideas how I can work this out?

No way AFAIK. Disks are cheap anyway - why not just grab hold of some 700MB blanks?

Well I was fortunate enough to already have Xandros Deluxe on cd and they do fit. I wasn't suprised about your answer and will have to wait until next month to get those disks because I only got lint in my pockets.
