I'd like to see this too. It's a bit silly to require an .iso file
matching the running system when the very same files are available under
/cdrom. (Keep the option to install different versions of Ubuntu, of
course, and do require an .iso file then.)
Usb-creator should probably verify MD5 sums in this case, as I've
definitely seen minor file corruption (which can lead to boot failures)
with some flash drives. But for ~700MB of freed-up space, it's worth it.
An old patch by "probono," in a bug report marked as a duplicate of this
one, may be worth a look:
