   I have a disk (HDD) that I keep ISO images on and whatever I then need,   
   I burn onto a DVDRW, so I avoid having too much plastic lying around.

   No, as long as I can boot from the medium, I'm fine.   
   I hadn't been aware that one can boot an ISO from a USB stick.   
      
   Having said that ... I have now burned 20.04 (without the ".2") on the   
   RW and was about to install from that and have the installer pull in the   
   newer packages.   
      
   But I may try a stick, having several lying around.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Josef
