That's exactly what my plan was, except the files once extracted from 
the disk image are bigger than a cd. DMG is a compressed disk image.

So Jimbo there is no iso & don't worry about burning them I can do it 
tonight(I have 2 burners on a fast machine and a spindle of blanks), I 
was just trying to solve this odd space issue first.

If someone picks off what flyers and how many I can start printing those 
tonight too.
