[ale] Ubuntu 12.10 desktop will not fit on a CD

[David Tomaschik]

This size change was announced with Quantal Beta 1:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2012-September/000161.html

For what it's worth, there is NO WAY K9copy or any other app can make this
ISO fit on a CD-R.  There are 700 megabytes available on CD-Rs, the ISOs
are 753MB.  While there are certainly options for dealing with video
(recompressing) that option doesn't exist with software.  (You could, of
course, remaster with fewer packages, etc., but then it's not the same ISO.)
