I was able to burn it to a CD. The CD size shows 701.8 MB (735,842,304  
bytes). I successfully booted the following machine with the CD:

Powermac G4 MDD FW800, 1.25GHz Dual Processors, 2GB Ram, ATI Radeon  
9800 Pro (flashed PC card)

I also successfully booted the following iBook G4, but I had to use a  
USB flash drive because the laptop's optical drive is broken:

iBook G4, 1.33GHz processor, 1.5GB Ram, ATI Mobility Radeon 9550

I will attempt some official testing later tonight, but I'm new at  
this and still not very confident as to the proper testing procedures.
