cd and clock questions

[suplero]

I was taught there are no stupid questions, so here goes:

Is it a problem that I can't get the lucid live cd to fit on a cd? the 64 bit version is 725mb, and the 32 bit is 716mb - and K3B won't allow me to burn either of them to a 700mb cd - it keeps saying "please insert empty medium" even when I have a blank cd in there. . I have lots of cd's, and I don't really want to burn a dvd, so I'm just wondering if there is a way to get it to fit on a cd.

I did make a live-usb, which is nice, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has the same problem burning a CD.

And the clock question is just based on a minor annoyance. Every time I boot a live cd - or usb - the hardware clock gets set to UTC, and the next boot of any OS is always still at UTC. I do so hate having to reset the clock every time I boot from the livecd to an installed version, so I was wondering if there is a command to turn off the clock adjustment when booting a live cd?

I have all my regular installs set to localtime on the hwclock, and for some reason the livecd's always end up at UTC.

thanks,

The Kubuntu alpha 2 desktop ISOs are too large to fit on a CD. They can be burned to a DVD or USB stick, or you can install using the alternate ISOs.

Overburning

Overburning

Overburning is the process of recording data past the normal size limit.

Many disc manufacturers extend a recordable disc to leave a small margin of extra groove at the outer edge. This lead-out was originally intended to provide tolerance for the read head of an audio CD player should it overseek, by providing a padding of up to 90 seconds of silent digital audio.

Recording onto the lead-out is possible with some combinations of CD recorder and authoring software...
