Hello,
I'm trying to re-install the operating system on a Cobalt RaQ3.
I've downloaded the image from ftp.nl.cobalt.com, and after gunzip'ing
it I found the image size to be 766Mb - obviously too large even for an
80min CD. Now, the readme.txt states that the size in bytes does not
correctly identify the actual image size, and that I can burn this image
on a standard 650Mb disc. I've tried and tried to burn the software
(using Nero), but to no avail. The software complains that the image is
too large to burn - if I force it to overburn the disc, I produce a
wonderfully useless coaster. Any ideas on how I should go about this?
Thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any reference/guide I should know about in regards to
re-installing the OS on any of the Cobalt RaQ or Qube systems?
