Hi Victor
Right !
/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/FreeBSD-10.0-RC1-amd64-disc1.iso
is 762531840 which is 25561088 larger than the 736970752 bytes of 700Meg CDs.
List of sizes:	 http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/cdroms.html

Those who need to fix this are <re@freebsd.org> I've added To: line.

I suggest re@ add a checker to release Makefile, mine is available free:
	http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/filesize/
I wrote it 1988 (on); It was used by my personal
release Makefile that built FreeBSD live CDs in 2001.

If imported it would consume:
	filesize.1 	4.3K	 
	filesize.c 	3.3K	 
	executable	7120 bytes 

Cheers,
Julian
