   hi,   
      
   i have an older laptop pC that I wanted to try Linux on.   
   touble is, the CD reader doesnt seem to want to read modern, 700 meg    
   CD's, i think in the old days, CD's were smaller in size like 650 meg.   
      
   it currently has that horrible windows ME on it; I want to wipe ME off    
   and totally re-format the drive - which I assume Linux will do.  But How    
   do i force a cd READ of the new linux releases which seem all to be 700    
   meg?   
      
   thanks for any helpful kitchen hints.
