Way too large I think personally.


You have 4.7 GB on the disk.  And showing customers
they don;'t need M$ Office is a big deal, plus they
love to see their documents recovered.

No, we are currently targeting a 1gb usb, not a full sized dvd. :)

We could of course change that...

Hi Kevin,

I can not even find a 1 GB USB at my suppliers, except for
the terrible/cheap ones that are so very, very SLOW and
fall apart.

I doubt it's so much the storage on the user end as storage and
bandwidth on the mirrors.



I have gotten around that by formatting with ext4 and
setting up for persistence.

Problem is, I am finding it rather difficult to get most
PC's to actually boot off a USB stick.  Some do, most don't.

Eh? I have dealt with a ton of Supermicro, Asus, and other motherboard computers and they have all worked with USB. Of course this is all hardware post 2010 so I am guessing the age might be an issue?

 
Supermicro's BIOS'es are an especially big pain in the neck
(not my exact word).  Most PC's will boot off a DVD though.
And NO MAC (OSx) will boot off a Live USB without jumping
though some crazy hoops.

No recent Mac comes with a DVD either.
