gollark: I think most distros will fit in 10GB, or have some sort of "lite" option.
gollark: Why not?
gollark: You could probably put it on a USB stick and install it from that somehow.
gollark: But if you don't constantly have an internet connection to verify your license, you might use it with an expired subscription or something, which is pure evil and must be avoided at all costs.
