You read correctly. The CD-ROM mechanisms used on older Macs (and your 
certainly is an older Mac) have problems with 700-MB CDs. Try reburning 
your ISOs on old-style 650-MB blanks. Also, before you go too far in 
burning disks, check the "md5sum" of your disk images. A *very* common 
problem is that there was some error in your ISO download, and the only 
way you find this out is that your installation fails half-way through 
(which can be very frustrating):
