That's about the size of it. :-) The only benefit would be having a bunch of free writable space that the user can put whatever they wish into. Personally, I think the CONs of forcing a larger Media requirement outweigh the bonus of the free space. But, it has been requested. So, I figured I would throw the question out to the users group and see what they thought. > > For putting the image on a USB fob drive, wouldn't you use Live USB > Creator or some similar tool anyway, so the 2GB thing doesn't matter? > Live USB Creator allows you to set aside extra space on the target fob > drive as writable space. <https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/> Technically, the FDI install media is a live FreeDOS version. It just doesn't have any extra software installed.
