Consider 2GB the minimum for base Ubuntu, but don’t go over 8GB.

For example, some of these sources state CD/DVD or flashcard-based .iso images can be used by Installer as the source code; however, I could never get these to work.

That isn’t necessarily bad at all. Installer reaches out to the OS of choice website and drags the .iso image back for you. Let’s be realistic and admit not all websites are created equal, and some developers put more flash in their sites than they do their OS. It may take a little while but it beats playing hide-and-go-seek with a buried OS. | That isn’t necessarily bad at all.
