This is not a live USB but a real HD install.

So it requires at least 2x as large a USB.
It will install on 4 GB minimum using "custom": /boot ext4 1000 /balance 
ext4 no swap
but 8 GB allows normal HD "use whole disk" [non LVM] install.

The same instructions would apply for a 250 or 500 GB USB external drive 
install.
(the live image fs appears to be  resized on Anaconda install to match 
the HD capacity)
