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.
