Well, technically a single layer DVD ISO is allowed to be 4.3 GB, wich means you need a 8GB stick to copy it on. But I agree, if possible we could try to keep it possible to use 4GB usb sticks...

Seems still valid with the beta3, how can we know, how much the iso too big is ? dd: écriture de « /dev/sdb »: Aucun espace disponible sur le périphérique 3936+0 enregistrements lus 3935+0 enregistrements écrits 4126146560 octets (4,1 GB) copiés, 762,108 s, 5,4 MB/s

A quick, untested, script snippet follows: _iso_fn=/loc_of_iso/iso_fn_here _max_size=whatever_size_you_decide_on_here _iso_size=$(stat --format=%s $_iso_fn) if [ $_iso_size -gt $_max_size ] ; then _size=$(echo "$_iso_size - $_max_size" | bc) echo "$_iso_fn is $_size bytes too large to fit on $_max_size media" exit 1 fi
ok will keep this in mind thanks, anyway, anne removed some rpms.
