You would probably want to make the target 1 GB (SI units), not 1 GiB. The
capacity of thumb drives is measured in SI units, so a "1 GB" thumb drive
really
is 1000^3 bytes, not 1024^3. (They start out with the binary capacity, but some
fraction of that is used for overhead, leaving some amount between the SI and
binary size. Hence the advertising refers to the SI size.)
For those too lazy to calculate the difference between 1 GB and 1 GiB: 1
GB equals 953 MiB. We hence should probably stick to to 950 MiB as new
target image size.
