How much space is needed for Ubuntu with no packages from tasksel installed.

This way I can use it on a USB stick to check systems with malware from a different OS that is less likely to be compromised.

I have one stick now with FreeDOS, but its not very helpful.

Depends which tasks you chose to install.

Take a look at the tasks that are preset:
gedit /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc

What is the size of your usb stick? What is your goal size for the OS? What utilities would you like to include on it?
