 It would be very good to know how close we are, and if re-hacking the
 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/usbcreator/misc.py file to have
 MIN_PERSISTENCE = 200 mb (instead of current 256 mb) allows it to work or
 not. That can tell us if we should consider to not install samba. I think
 256mb is a good minimum, I wouldn't like to go much smaller, and that
 persistence on 4GB sticks is more important than samba. (i.e. really
 important)
