bootable USB / installation requirements

The instructions for creating a
bootable USB key for installing Ubuntu
Netbook Remix include a line saying:
"Insert a USB stick with at least 2GB
of free space"
I recently installed UNR on a netbook
-- in fact, the one I'm using right now -- and I went ahead despite only
having a 1GB USB key on hand.
Everything went smoothly and installed
100% correctly.
If I had waited to go out and buy a
2GB USB key I would have spent that
money unnecessarily and wouldn't have
been able to use the computer in the
meantime.
I was wondering if there's a specific
rationale for requiring a 2GB USB key,
or if the instructions could be
changed to indicate that it can be
done with only 1GB.
Thanks!
