what's the average flash drive size needed for a full install of OSX?

[patent10021]

Not a bootable USB but a full install.

If I install Diskwarrior on that same OS it won't make much difference right?



16GB safe?

8GB will work without a problem.

How come people installing DW on a full install of OSX on a flash drive are recommending 32?

Strange indeed.

8GB is a very tight fit and doesn't allow a recovery partition, but 16GB give more room for additional applications.
