It does preserve the existing file. I had to carry the .iso on the same stick that I made bootable, because I downloaded the iso on an Ubuntu 8.04 machine that doesn't have the utility. At the end of the process I have the bootable USB stick with the original .iso file intact. In that scenario, 2GB is reasonable. Probably, that is the scenario that they are assuming.<br>
