Would it truly be a LiveCD (as opposed to LiveDVD) if it doesn't fit on a CD? :) It was that semi-misnomer that made me assume I could burn it to a CD in the first place. Of course, I didn't check the size before I started, and only discovered it when I tried to burn.
It would be misnomer definitely which is why we never call it a Live CD anywhere in our content. We have called them Live images and the FAQ I pointed out has the sizes listed and the reasons why they differ in sizes. I am sorry if something misled you otherwise. Point it out and we will fix it,
The reason this matters is because I was burning the CD for the x64 machine on an older machine with only CD-RW, because the x64 machine has no operating system...
You can do a network or hard disk based installation with the small boot/rescue images. Check out the installation guide at http://docs.fedoraproject.org for details.
