How to Burn ISO that is 1.1Gig

[reb81]

I downloaded the 14.10 Kubuntu and need to burn it to install it. The upgrade is 1.1 G. My disks are not that large. Can you burn to a flash drive/Thuimb Drive?
Thank you,

Yes, as Vinny said "this image must go to a DVD" (it's too big to fit on a CD). If you have a suitable writeable/re-writeable DVD disk, that would be ideal.

The developers are between a rock and a hard place. The ISO has to be small enough that most people would download load it. 1.1GB is about the top end of that size. Were it 2, 3 or 4GB most people would not download it. To "work out of the box" for the majority target platforms they have to include enough hardware drivers to do the job. 700MB isn't big enough unless you restrict the "out of the box" platforms to the most recent and popular, which would make Kubuntu not work "out of the box" for a lot of hardware. Only hardware platforms like System76 have the luxury of matching hardware drivers to their hardware and thus keep the size of their install disk below 700MB.
