Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 to lower the free space limit for a 4GB usb stick, see bin/setdown.sh:

 {{{
 # re-enable ability to create persistent USB installs on a 4gb thumb drive
 sed -i -e 's/\(^MIN_PERSISTENCE =\) .*/\1 256/' \
    /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usbcreator/misc.py
 }}}


 There it changed it from a minimum 1GB to a minimum 256mb.
 I'd be interested to know how close we are. e.g. by dropping samba we
 could save 40mb if we are right on the threshold.

 (excludes the non-packaged java apps, which are all probably bigger than
 anything on that list)
