What are these FC 10 Snap 1, 2 releases, ISO's ??
I have FC 10 Beta installed and a lot of problems.
Most are related to getting the XO hardware working with F10
(explore http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_OLPC_Wiki [1])
Actually, the Snaps are a more general part of the release process now
so that we can get more testing of media-based things beyond just alpha
+ beta + preview release.
There's just a nice side effect that they're handy and work out well for
some of the testing on the XO :)

If you guys are going to be using these in the future for live cd's, you need to make sure you aren't overburning these things because a hell of a lot of cd/dvd burners *DON'T* support this, and the snap 3 386 live cd iso are overburned [703 megs instead of the standard 650/702 megs].
None of my Liteon dvd burners support overburning and I don't think the older sony cdwr drive I have in a older computer supports it either.
If you are going to be overburning these things, at least say so, so people won't waste their time downloading something that's going to be unusable on their machines.
It's easy to look at the size of the image and the capacity of the CD and decide
if it will fit. I have 720 and 730 CDs from an obscure source called Office Max.
You can often get them from newegg as well, I never ordered anything special,
they just came that way.
You may have to use the overburn option to cdrecord, I don't ever recall doing
that, but it's there. I use the cdrecord from the author rather than the hack
one which comes with Fedora and some other distributions, that might be a factor.
In short, I burn these on a variety of burners, CD and DVD, and have no problem
with the size. You might have some small media, in which case a quick investment
would be in order, but larger sizes are available.
