Bug Description
The download page for several ISO images (such as https:/
"Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 703MiB CD. However, you may still test it using a DVD, a USB drive, or a virtual machine."
While it is technically true that the ISO file sizes (3 and 4 GiB respectively) exceed the capacity of a CD, this information is no longer relevant for any practical purposes.
I suggest that the wording should be adjusted to "These images will fit on standard USB drives or can be used on a virtual machine."
