You can change the <b>Output file segment size</b> on the <i>Project Settings</i> dialog (<b>Project | Settings</b>).</p><p>There are two default CD-ROM sizes available to you, "74 Minute CD-ROM (650 MB)" and "80 Minute CD-ROM (703 MB)", although you can set the size to be anything using the "Custom" option.</p><p>So if you were creating an installation for 650 MB CD-ROMs, and your installation was 850 MB, you would select the "74 Minute CD-ROM (650 MB)" option. This would build your installation into two segments, a Setup.exe that is 650 MB and a setup.2 that is 200 MB in size. You would then burn Setup.exe onto your first CD-ROM, and setup.2 onto your second CD-ROM.</p><h3>MORE INFORMATION</h3><p>For more information please see the following topics in the Setup Factory 6.0 Help:</p><li><b>Command Reference | Screens | Screens Index</b></li><li><b>Command Reference | Design Environment | Dialogs | Screens | Screens dialog</b></li></p><p>KEYWORDS: Setup Factory 6.0, Multiple CD-ROMS, Span</p><hr><FONT SIZE=1>Last reviewed: February 20, 2003
