Not really. :)) Debian offers a wide range of sizes from mini.iso (32 MB) to BDDL (50 GB) and two flavors for x86: Installer and Live (with several desktop flavors)= . I have to acknowledge, though, that their boot equipment at most differs b= y lagging behind debian-cd evolution. If it's about what other distros do: They do MBR partition table. Have a nice day :) Thomas
