How about a middle ground? Most of the people will just try and see what 
is about, they will not use write overlay, so we can target the image at 
1 GB (999 MB), to cover their case. Advanced users, who will made use of 
the write overlay, will surely write the image on a 2GB or large drive, 
having the option to set the overlay as large as they want and the 
possibility to throw in other useful things, like a persistent home.
