For those who want to try this, the size of the Iso I got from the Jigdo build far exceeds a 16GB stick. It's reported as 20.9GB. I suppose I'll have to use one of my prized 32GB USB3 thumbdrives for this test.

It would be kinda cool if the installer could deal with multiple DVDs at once: Allow people with two or more optical drives to put DVD-1 in one of them and DVD-2 in the second (and so on, if necessary/possible) and have the installation “just work” with no swapping of disks in drives. Then
