[SNIP] That's why I have been recommending the BD image, because it is bootable and should contain 99% of what you really need (remember, packages are sorted on the images by popularity). The BD images are only available as jigdo (probably because of storage space), but since the OP already has the full DVD set it should be easy to use the DVDs to "seed" the BD image.

My original post stated: 64 GB flash drives are available. I purchase complete DVD sets.I would find it convenient to have a complete distro on a single device.
Therefore:incomplete distributions of the relevant architecture are "out of spec".
devices other than USB flash drives are "out of spec". P.S. - I *DO* know that I'm [to say the least] peculiar ;} Thank you for tolerance.
