Well, I did not intend to define a limit, but if the target is 4 GB USB 
sticks, and given the variability of the actual size of the sticks 
claiming 4GB on the market, there is a need for some security margin 
(which you are of course aware of given the ongoing work on reducing the 
final iso size).

A bit will probably do.

Well, I intend to use only one or two softwares in the training course, 
so if they can be used, I think I'll go for the new version, since I 
need the last version of my software for the training. It begins on the 
22 of august, only a few days too early to benefit from the final 5.0.

Many thanks for your answer,

Regards,

Julien
