I've tried two different burners and the most data I can fit onto a
700MB CDR seems to be about 733MB. The image for the x86_64 Fedora 7
live CD is 780MB (817156096 bytes). Anyone have any suggestions as to
how to fit the x86_64 ISO image onto a 700MB CDR? I'm attempting to
write the ISO to either of:
[root@bend ~]# cat /proc/ide/hdb/model
CR-48X9TE (Mitsumi)
[root@bend ~]# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model
SONY DVD RW AW-Q170A
using K3B and the blank CDRs are Memorex 700MB CDRs. The best result
was with the Sony DVD burner which managed to write 733MB before getting
an error. Is there a different media manufacturer who produces blank
CDRs with more capacity?
There are, but see below:
Alternatively, can I just write the CD ISO to
a DVD+R?
Yes - I think that is the intent for the x86_64 images - it is just too
much data:

You can use a 1GB flash drive !
