Package: debian-cd Version: 3.1.5 Severity: wishlist Hey,
as discussed on #debian-cd, now that iso images are hybrid and installing via usb seems quite common, it'd be nice to have iso images for usb thumb drives. For example the first CD is around 650M which fits well on a CD but not an a 512M thumb drive and means you lose some place on a 1G one. Same goes for the first DVD which won't fit on a 4G drive and will lose quite some space on a 8G one (it seems there are 5G drive but it doesn't seem that frequent). I guess it might make sense to have images for 1G and 4G size. It'd be nice to have multi-arch stuff too, for example i386/amd64 CD1 (which might fit on 1G), multi-arch DVD1 (which might fit on 8G). Anyway you see the point, and I know adding more and more images aren't viable (not sure if there are current one which can be dropped too).
