Thank you. OK, not worrying about the architecture, because it is a similar size with amd64 anyway, is there a "best practise" method to minimise this? By your reply it seems the udebs are required regardless of what installer is used. Is this correct? I only want a live system that can be installed. I don't want the installer to "pull packages" from a pool like a regular installer if I can stop it. Is this possible with Debian Live?

What about the debs (not the udebs)? are they also required?

Cheers.

OK, this is normal when you include the installer. And i386 architecture
is a worst case scenario because both 486 and 686-pae kernel udebs are
included. With amd64 installer, at least you only have the one kernel
flavour, amd64.

It's not wasted if you really do want the installer.
