Is there some reason you cannot uninstall the programs you won't use? To me the easiest solution to your problem seems to be use the Mate live iso to install your system, remove programs you don't want and install anything else you would like.
Well how can I uninstall a program? And I try it on a 4gb USB.

As can be seen here to uninstall a package with pacman the command (run as root) is:

Code: [Select]
pacman -R package_name

So if I wanted to uninstall say Firefox, for example, the command (run as root) is:

Code: [Select]
pacman -R firefox

So overall your steps would be:

Put the mate iso on your usb as per normal.

Install it on your computer by following the prompts from the installer.

Restart your machine so that you are booting off it.

Open whatever terminal is shipped with mate and run

Code: [Select]
pacman -R first_unwanted_program second_unwanted_program

(Pacman can actually uninstall any number of programs, each program name separated by a space)

Then install any other programs that are missing and you want.

Code: [Select]
pacman -S first_new_program second_new_program

And then you should be good to go.
