The usb creator uses the VFAT filesystem for the drive, which is limited to 4GB per file. You can use the script I made for the FSF member card, which uses ext filesystems with no -relevant- limit: http://devel.trisquel.info/sourcecode/live-usb-creator/ Using syslinux-extgfxboot is recommended for extra coolness: http://devel.trisquel.info/syslinux-extgfxboot/
