archlinux-2016.06.01-dual.iso is 745MiB (781 MB). This is too large to fit on a typical 700MiB CD-R. Xfburn refuses to write as the ISO is larger than the CD capacity.

My simplest available solution was to write to a DVD instead, which just seems wasteful. I understand there are other means such as creating a USB bootable but it would make sense to keep the ISO to a size that fits on CD (without requiring overburn).
This task depends upon
