I thought this was monitored automatically. At the top of the test case
list, there is a warning

If someone can put this on a wiki page somewhere, I'd be happy to link
to it in the release notes. ;)

Hi Julien,
as some of the ISO's do creep up to oversized, can we keep alternate CD
sized and allow desk top to have language packs etc? I know it has been a
struggle to keep the ISO's at CD size. Would this not take some of the
burden off you?
Regards,
Phill.

Hi,
I have burned a 700MB CD with the oversized ISO using the -overburn option. I
booted the
CD with Virtualbox and even started the installer : it works.
The command line used:
$ wodim -v -overburn utopic-desktop-i386.iso
(-v is for verbose.)
I don't know if xfburn which is the default in Lu
Unfortunately, no :-( My fix needed an upload + a respin, which I
didn't plan. We have to stick with this size for i386.
Next time, if you see this type of oversize during your testing,
please send me a mail as soon as possible, so I have time to fix it
properly.

Hi Mélodie,
There is already a new i386 iso file at the qa-tracker. It is flagged
'oversized'. (I have tested all but the 'Install alongside' test-case,
and it passed my tests.)
Julien, will there be another i386 iso file, or is this the final one?
Best regards
Nio

Hello,
It looks to me some of us might be waiting for a new i386 version ready to
test. I read

Hi Julien,
with such short time scale left, I've had a chat with Walter (PPC guy and
release manager). We're minded to drop PPC from 14.10 and concentrate our
limited resources on the 14.04 LTS.
I'm pretty sure you will be in agreement, the question is will LXQt support
the PPC machines, or do we

Sorry to be rude, but the question is more short term : Do we have the
time to test another i386, 3 days before the release ?
- If yes, we should respin now, and start the test (because a respin
will make the ISO CD size, I done the necessary cut).
- If no, so we have to live with a non CD size ISO
some perspective: there's nothing that's not oversized anymore. cds
are kind of old hat.
that being said, lubuntu is often targeted at machines that are old
hat ;) those machines often have the biggest problems with drivers.
having a live version can be essential for those sort of situations.

I second that. Being restricted to CD size is a large burden, DVD drives/USB

could make a community respin with only lubuntu-core, but that is another
story.

I would agree that it is important for PPC. Many of the really old
