Yup, it seems to have worked. (I haven't tried to
boot the result yet, but no errors on burning.) The
unpacked ISO actually clocked in at around 722M, and
the burned CD at 751M and change. I'm using -- I
think -- ver. 5.52 of RSJ. The RSJ version, one's
burner, and it's particular firmware could be
variables here (?)

I searched through the RSJ .PDF manual for this 5.x
version, using the keywords "overburn", "700", and
"capacity." No hits. But, you know -- those wacky
Germans -- they could have some other nomenclature for
this. I also have a 6x RSJ and its accompanying .PDF,
from earlier this year, but did not bother looking at
those. I'm thinking they probably wanted an upgrade
fee for 6x, and at the time I did not find a
compelling reason for paying it. It might be time to
double check the current ver. and features list again,
tho' . . . .

If the install disc size keeps going up, and they are
not going to a multi-install-cd format, we may all
need to move to a boot-DVD-based solution.
