      Hi All,
      CD (ISO) installer for 2.4.5-p1 is too large to write to a cd.
      I get an error saying “disc inserted does not have enough space”
      Seems like the iso needs more space than a 700MB blank cd. I tried writing the image using a Mac.
      Any help would be appreciated.

        I use a DVD to write the ISO to instead of a CD. Seems to work just fine. I use Windows, don't know if there are issues with using a Mac.

        I think most folks on here use a USB memory stick but I prefer to stay with DVDs.

            yeah, most of us use usb now, cd and dvd are obsolete stuff
            why not.. try with 487 floppies (3.5 double-sided, high-density 1.44MB) 😂

              It worked. Thanks much
