>From a email sent to me, "One of my friends works for an NGO and is based in rural parts of Asia and Latin America for about 10 months of the year. He told me that most of the machines were second-hand and had faulty DVD drives. Moreover DVD discs are prone to scratches and wear-and-tear. On the other hand USB flash drives are ubiquitous and relatively inexpensive. Even used machines have at least a USB port." I have produced complete 32 & 64 bit installation sticks for wheezy (~43GB) and Jessie (~55GB) which fit nicely on a 64GB stick. However, the stick is of limited use because the stick cannot be accessed after the initial installation which means that additional software cannot be installed. -- Philip Charles; 39a Paterson Street, Abbotsford, Dunedin, New Zealand +64 3 488 2818 Fax +64 3 488 2875 Mobile 027 663 4453 phil...@copyleft.co.nz - personal. i...@copyleft.co.nz - business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
