The code is about 2G, 500M compressed. The initial filesystem is about 4G. It will fit on a 4G SD card BUT it is hard to find any quality 4G cards and becoming increasingly hard to find any 8G ones either. I suggest the Sandisk ultra or ultra+ class 10 16G cards. They are around $12 at Amazon. The other reason to use a card much larger than your image is to allow wear leveling to work better.

I don't want people to make the mistake of using cheap cards. This happened in the IRLP world and everyone was complaining how unreliable SD cards were. I have never bought anything but the above mentioned cards and I have never had a problem. It does not pay to fool with cheap cards.

If you bought a BBB you will need at least one microSD card to burn the image on. Here is about the best deal around -

Highly recommended is at least Sandisk ultra 16G  class 10 30mb read.

Buy at least three for free shipping.
