Ubuntu ISO Images

[Dazed_75]

I noticed this as well David but I had not trouble burning them (though it
did surprise me).  It seems the oversize files end up being in the ~690 MB
range when written.  I do not know why a .iso file would burn to a smaller
size but it did for me.  I did all three (Ubuntu and Kubuntu workstation and
the Ubuntu Server) and since then installed all three.  I downloaded them to
my desktop under Ubuntu 5.10 and just right clicked each and selected "Write
to disc".  Your email looks like you did try burning them and were
unsuccessful (as opposed to simply assuming it would not work) so maybe it
would help if you described the method and environment that failed.
