"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.
