Copied and pasted from my reply to your earlier thread: Why not use the net-install? That fits _easily_ on a stick, even a small stick, and away you go. Just do the basic install and then pull the rest of waht you want off the net. You don't need everything. I never use anything else. You can get it with or without proprietary network drivers: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/ (The official image (without drivers) is at the top of the page, the image with drivers is towards the bottom of the page in the yellow box.)
