[Bug 1069779] Re: Quantal Image too big for CD

[Warren Hill]

If we have abandoned the 700MB size limit that needs to be shown
predominantly on the download page.  For 12.04 the CD image was also too
big and that was considered a bug.

Is there a similar statement on Ubuntu?

Title:
  Quantal Image too big for CD

Status in “kubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Many of the CD image iso files for Quantal will not fit on a standard
  700MB CD

  For example here:
  http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/
      http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso   756MB
      http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso             763MB
      http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso                  753MB

  
  and here
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.10/release/
      http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.10/release/kubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso        932MB
      http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.10/release/kubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso                  934MB
      http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.10/release/kubuntu-12.10-desktop-armhf+omap4.img   831MB
      http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.10/release/kubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso                        953MB

  Have we abandoned standard 700MB CDs? If so it needs to be made clear
  that Ubuntu needs a 800MB CD and kubuntu can only be installed from a
  USB drive.
