I need to trim some fat off the install of Suse 9.1 Personal. It's 701/702 meg but the CD-R i have is only 700. I dl'ed 9.1 personal from the site and i'm wondering what i can take out so i can make it fit and still have it run just fine. Hell, i'm even willing to take it out now and put it back in after i get Suse running. Any help and suggestions is appreciated.
Have you tried burning it yet?
My CDRs say 700 MB also.
I put both the Live CD and the Personal Edition download on one (each). I know the Live CD works, I have not used the install CD yet but it seemed to write to the CD with no problem-using K3b in 9.1 Professional.
A Linux "live CD" is a version of Linux that allows Linux to be run from the CD with no installation.
Knoppix is a very good live CD.
Both Suse and Slackware have had a live CD version for a while.
There are lots of others.
Check the Suse website.
i don't recall exactly where it is but there is a setting in Nero where you can choose the size of the media that you want to write to.
look for this setting and check to see that it is set to 700MB
