You are right.  Sorry, I should have said v 5.4
That disc #7 is over 700 MB.

Hi Chris,

That's strange. If I download SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso from
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/iso/i386/CD/ I get an
iso file which is 697MB. This should fit on a 700MB CD. Have you checked
the md5sum of your downloaded iso file?

# wget
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/iso/i386/CD/SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso

# du -csh SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
697M    SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
697M    total

# md5sum SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
e6808afa7cd3bdf048b6a0bcdda25088  SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso

Cheers,
