Creating Smaller Installer Image

My computer's DVD-reading capabilities are busted, but it can boot from CD just fine. Is it possible to create a Linux Mint installer that can fit into 700MB?

If I find the link I'll post it.

You can also burn the plop boot manager to the CD and use that to boot from the USB.
