Then put either the netinst.iso or the full CD1 binary iso on the
USB-stick. If ever you want to install from CD, just take the stick to
a computer with a burner and burn that ISO image.
I also include all my essential user and system data on my 4 GB USB
stick so that it, in combination with an internet connection, provides
everything I need for a full bare-metal-recovery. For completeness, I
also put on a grml.iso.
