Double layer Blu-Ray disk image. Use dd to write this to a single stick. That will give you virtually everything you need to install.
"virtually everything" <> "everything" by *DEFINITION*
A second USB stick to hold preseed files and the .iso files for dlbd1 and dlbd 2 in case you really need it (chances are you won't - since the first DL-BD will be the first 10 DVDs in one directly bootable image)
"2 flash drives" <> "1 flash drive" <GRIN>
THEREFORE *UNACCEPTABLE* by specification ;/
So I'm looking to near future when >= 128 GB flash drives available.
[currently commercially available 1 TB USB connected rotating
medium is acceptable ;]
One USB stick will be bootable and install almost all of Debian (50G or 10 or 11 DVDs). Optionally, you can use the second large stick and apt-cdrom add to add in any packages which aren't on the dl-bd image you use to install.
One 64G stick might hold both .iso files and any preseeds you write - so 2 x 64G sticks might work.
Project specification *IS* :
13 DVD's in --> *1* device out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;/
Hope this helps,
