Hello, you're looking to shrink a 1.7 GB Linux Mint file to fit on a 700 MB DVD. Since you don’t have a flash drive, consider using a tool like `dd` or `7-Zip` to compress the data. Check if the file size can be reduced further before burning.

You require a CD drive because it ensures stability, and it's built upon Debian. For more details, see the link provided.

You can use UNetBootin or LinuxLive USB Creator with a cheap 4GB USB stick to generate a bootable disk, though you won’t be able to reduce the installation files to fit on a CD. With UNetBootin, Mint can also be installed inside Windows (you’ll still need to restart to switch), and you can remove it as any regular program if you prefer a different Linux version or if performance issues arise. It’s likely a live CD, and having physical media available is always a solid backup for installation.
