That is a true but misleading statement. Sure, some formats (SVCD video for instance) may have a larger ISO and do cram more data on a CD by using Mode 2 and using the space normally used for error correction for extra data. But this is not the case with a Knoppix ISO. The iso file itself for a good download is smaller than 700 meg. If this person really has a 715 meg ISO (which I have strong doubts about) then it will not burn a Knoppix CD correctly and it does then a disservice to tell them to burn it. Their first step should always be to check the md5 sum of the downloaded file to see if the download was good. I would also like to know what they are seeing to make them think the ISO is as big as they think it is, but even if it was te right size a md5 check needs to be done.

see the DOWNLOADNG faq available from the Documentation link at the top of this page for more information.
