[OSGeoLive] Disk (ISO) size limitations

[edgar.soldin at web.de]

hey Angelos,

if fat32 is the limiting factor, why is it put as is on the stick and not extracted? Some tools support that eg. Rufus for windows http://rufus.ie/ and that works well with pretty much every ISO i put on stick so far.

i am pretty sure that can be done as well on the command line or with some linux tool.. ede
