Novell SLES10, 64 bit install media

[C M Reinehr]

Are you using a blank CD of sufficient capacity? I haven't bought any blank 
CD's in a while but they used to come in two different capacities--the 
original 650MB and a newer 700MB capacity. If you're using 650MB capacity 
CD's you're just running out of room.
