Hi Chaitanya,

1GB is a little tight for a bare metal install. Keep in mind that the bare metal install includes Linux with lots of device drivers for just about every piece of hardware out there. It also needs room for updates and a swap partition, not to mention room for caching downloaded LivePCs and stored data. 2GB is more comfortable for a bare metal install.

We haven't done much work in stripping down the size of the bare metal install. In the future, the requirement may be relaxed, but it's not a priority right now.

The Windows version does not need as much space. A 512MB USB stick runs pretty well with the Windows LivePC Engine and the Fearless Browser LivePC.
