I'm pretty much set on running my PC on Linux Mint, but before I make the full plunge I want to test it out by launching it from a USB drive. I was wondering how much discs I would need on the said USB stick so that I can boot into LM environment and test it out.

Thanks, I was planning on buying a new usb for Mint, so getting wiped won't be an issue
