The answer may depend on:

  - How much over 700MB they are, and
  - Media quality/peculiarities

If you are using cdrecord, there is an option - I think it's '-overburn'
- designed specifically to cram extra data onto your CD. On the other
hand, I have a hard time believing that any reputable Linux distribution
would publish ISOs that won't work for most people. So if it were me I'd
just get good quality media, and go ahead and try it (without
-overburn).
