Is there a minimal version of debian 11, that will fit on a
16gb usb stick?
Thanks.

Just take Debian netinstall image and deselect desktop environment in end. That will get you minimal version. On it you can install something lighter that might fit the size.

Depends on what is meant by "minimal". Debian live images for example can be less than 1gig, or less than 3 gig with gnome. See:

You can probably do a full install with a lightweight desktop. Looking at my system(s), both with XFCE desktops, I see that only about 10GB is used.
I am not irrational, I'm just quantum probabilistic.

I put debian-live-11.2.0-amd64-mate.iso on an usb stick. I was not able to install debian
on the same usb stick. Instead I utilized the first usb stick to install debian on another usb stick. I think it was
about 8gb when installed.
