That's a wise move in general, of course. But if you are downloading a BD sized ISO of 20+ GiB, then RAM based "disk" storage might be too small. As soon as the ISO is composed from template file and Debian packages by Jigdo, it may be burnt to a BD medium. But Jigdo needs a file path where to inflate its template file to full ISO size. > I used Windows's tools to shrink its filesystems and partitions Well, that would be an invasive way to use the real disk of the MS-Windows machine. Also i expect it to need more GNU/Linux knowledge than we can expect, when it comes to making the free space usable by the Live system. Nevertheless, if you have a tangible proposal as alternative to https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive#Get_access_to_a_writable_disk_filesystem i am interested to see it. Have a nice day :) Thomas
