ppc 10.1a4 ppc disk 1 > 700mb

I guess this is the correct location for this question, instead of in the ppc section. I have a question as to why the disk 1 image is 707 mb or so. All my cd's are 700mb, and I am a bit uncertain about if I can mount the image, resize it (remove something?) and rebuild the iso image to burn. Any better methods? Yes, the md5sum is correct. I am using K3b to burn the images, which reports the image is 707.4MB.

After mounting the ISO image of disk 1, I have a suspect file that I don't need for the apple g3/g4 hardware:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9793536 Dec 13 19:41 ISERIES64
If I remove it, can I boot it :-)

thanks,
scott

.iso images can be slightly larger than the disk capacity (which is actually 702 to 703MB for a 700MB 80 minute CD) because all of the image may not get written to the CD. I really doubt the developers/packagers put out a CD that won't fit on a CD . Burn it and let us know what happens.

I couldn't fit the 707mb iso onto a cdr. If it was 702mb, then I could, but 707mb is too big. I burned it to a dvd, but it wouldn't boot. I tried 3 different brands of blank cdr, tried 3 different burning programs across 3 different OS's and still no dice. So, I'm at 10.0 and wondering if there is a better solution to upgrading to 10.1.
