Title:
  Startup Disk Creator should tell user he needs 2Gb USB to make it
  persistent and not just disable the persistent section

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1) Ubuntu Natty 11.04

  2) Version: 0.2.28.3

  3) If user try to use a 1Gb USB drive to create and Ubuntu live USB,
  the part of the application where you can set the persistent options
  are simply in gray and you cannot use them. I was expecting to read
  "You need at least a 2Gb USB drive to be able to use this feature".

  4) The application simply disable this feature and the user cannot
  understand why it's not enabled (I wasted 1 hour googling and doing
  some tests, then I tried with another USB drive of 8Gb and discovered
  that the minimum size of the persistent file is 1Gb. In the past it
  was 128Mb allowing the use of 1Gb USB drives for persistence needs).
