How can a 749MB .iso be burned to a 700MB CD? Stupid fucks...

If I recall correctly, you can write more than 700MB on discs (about 70MB?)

>>55681821
Does Arch have a PXE boot option?

hahahaahahaha

>>55681885
Standard size is 700MB.

I don't think I've ever seen an 800MB CD.

>>55681908
Writing more than it's capacity, I mean. I don't know how, thou.

>>55681821
Who the fuck has an optical disc drive anymore?
OP probly has a dial up modem too

>>55681876
>What the fuck is arhitect

I've never used 3rd party installers. I've only heard of architect on /g/ never actually checked it out.

I guess I will now.

>>55681964
It's an old computer. I don't think it has USB boot option in BIOS.

I just want to run an mpd server connected to my cassette player speakers because the radio stopped playing cassettes but it has line-in.

>>55681993
I've never seen anything without a USB boot option. Take a look.

>>55681821
>700 MB CD
>CD
did my time travel experiment work?

>>55681821
try

1/ netboot

2/ previous release

>>55681993
it might have one but hidden

look for Legacy USB, enable it and re-enter bios for the now available new boot option

>>55683027
>netboot

So let me get this straight. The laptop has an old ubuntu on it already with grub bootloader. I can just add the netboot image into the boot options and boot it?

>>55681993
Do the following:
Burn a CD with Plop boot manager (google it) and make a bootable USB, then plug the usb and boot the CD. After the CD boot, boot the USB from it.

This is how i installed Linux to a Compaq Presario 2100, pretty old shit, the ATI driver didn't work thought...

>>55681993
>don't think it has USB boot option

I thought that about an old computer too, turns out that if the usb stick is in while starting up and going to the Boot Select menu, the stick will show up as an option among the hard drives.

>>55681821
what did u expect from a bunch of filthy fat neckbeards ?

>>55683081
idk never done this netboot

you might as well use ubuntu mini.iso and install nothing at the end of the installer, after the reboot $ sudo apt install i3 xinit tlp pcmanfm (for example; TLP is good for laptops), it would be somewhat similar to arch, around 1gb of / and very low ram usage

>>55683147
This save me before too. I copied plop onto a floppy disk, and could boot from that to boot my usb

someone may be still seeding a previous release

>>55681821
Why the fuck would you put it on a cd, you piece of shit?

>>55681821
how can it be 2016 and this retarded person still uses optical media?

>>55681876
Because "fuck you" to everyone who doesn't live in the first world, right? Nice principles, retard.

>>55682205
eh.

>>55681821

You can compress the iso file by using available free software (ex. iso compressor) for the same or buy a 800 mb disk

>>55681908
>>55681927
Get a program with over burn feature. I know Nero used to. Haven't you guys heard of gd-rom?

>>55683169

>having to live in the "first world" to afford a fucking $3 usb stick to boot your shitty OS install

>>55681908

xcd format used to write 800MB videos to nominal 700MB CDs. ogm .dat files was the preferred file format, mkv was at an embryonic stage. This was back when DVD burners were expensive and video encoders were creative. IIRC they used some trick of turning off a layer of error detection/correction to squeeze in the extra data.

I've seen a 900 MB CD at a friends house once.

No idea why. It doesn't make sense.

>>55683419
I actually do live in the first world, I just want to use an old laptop as an mpd server, nothing else. It still has an optical drive.

On my main laptop I use debian testing, but have had trouble getting mpd to work (doesn't read the music library). And the only other distros I like are Arch and Slackware.

what are you fucking gay

It's called overburning, juvenilefag.

>>55684084
I hate non-memey people too. Why can't everyone be as memey as us memesters?

>>55683923
mpd can be a pain to set up sometimes but you should give it another chance. Beats using a secondary device for such a trivial purpose, unless it's a pi or something.

>>55683689
It was used for burning dreamcast games mostly. You can't find them around for the love of heck anymore

>>55684167
If I could get mpd to work on debian that would be ideal as I already have a debian 8 CD...

>>55684167

ncmpcpp just can't recognize any music. But MPD is running...

mpd.service                 loaded active running   Music Player Daemon

I left everything default and put the music into /var/lib/mpd/music

reminder: OP will be a future Arch user. he doesn't know how to use google, yet he's already bitching about things he doesn't know.

>>55684395
Clever.

I'm only using Arch because I remembered I had no problems installing and running mpd on it a couple of years back.

Can't seem to get MPD to work on Debian. I just chmod -R 777 /var/lib/mpd/music/ and that didn't work either. ncmpcpp just won't recognize any music but MPD is running...

>>55684369
No errors either...

how about a computer without usb ports you cunt

>>55684065

kys

I don't know why no one has suggested just burn it to a dvd instead

>>55681821
>implying .iso=optical media
but yes is dumb for just a kernel, GNU and zsh and the bundle that carries archroot

iirc a cd is a bit less than 700MB

>>55685686
The desription actually says "The image can be burned to a CD...".

>>55681821
Overburn you fucking idiot.

http://wiki.osdev.org/GRUB#Floppy_instructions

CDs can be overburned to 750MB. Any modern disc, drive and software combination will be able to handle doing this.

>>55681964
How the fuck doesn't have an optical drive in their closet at least? You can get a USB one for like $25 and they're tiny.

>>55685212
To be fair sometimes that isn't so easy.

E.g. cuckbian in its default form comes without a lot of firmwares for 'evil' proprietary hardware. You have to push files to some folders on the install media. It's possible to change the ISO file instead, but that's disgustingly complicated and leaves you with a DVD/CD that you cannot really checksum against errors.

>>55685895
You can get chink ones for less than 10.

>>55683419
I live in a third world country and haven't used a CD in like fucking 10 years.

I don't even own an optical drive. Not on my HTPC, not on my laptop, not even in my car (DMP). it's dead jim

>>55688694
That's because they ship 32-bit and 64-bit executables on the same ISO.

Mount the iso and delete useless shit then burn it to cd
