Copied and pasted from my reply to your earlier thread:
Why not use the net-install? That fits _easily_ on a stick, even a small
stick, and away you go. Just do the basic install and then pull the rest of
waht you want off the net. You don't need everything.
I never use anything else. You can get it with or without proprietary
network drivers:

(The official image (without drivers) is at the top of the page, the image
with drivers is towards the bottom of the page in the yellow box.)
