Bug Description

I downloaded kubuntu intrepid alternate RC 64-bit and made it to a USB image with isotostick and unetbootin (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick). It loads, I select install, give the localisation settings (finnish). It starts to load things and soon stops to tell me that there's no CD in the drive. I think it asked if I want to try again or skip or something. Anyway the installation won't continue without a cd. Not sure what would happen if I had the cd there.

-> USB installation fails.

Hi thanks for reporting this. What ubuntu version are you using?

In intrepid there is usb-creator that makes a live-USB which allows you to run ubuntu off a usb and also install ubuntu to the hardrive if desired, the same as a live-CD. I don't know what terminology will be settled on, I think it won't be called a live-usb. You can access it in intrepid with system->administration->create a USB startup disk.

Im not sure how to determine if your bug is with the the intrepid iso or with isotostick.

Hi!

I'm using Hardy 32-bit Kubuntu to run Unetbootin or isotostick (I tried both!) to create the bootable usb stick from kubuntu-intrepid-RC-AMD64-alternate image.

I didn't test yet other images (Ubuntu or Kubuntu full live) to give more information. I tried to run the md5 check but again it required a cd so it didn't help.

download live image -> burn on cd -> use the new tool to create a botable usb doesn't work if you don't have a cd drive and only have one computer to work on.

Can someone confirm that they've beeb able to make this work or if it failed like it did for me?

I made about week ago Xubuntu Intrepid (daily) usb-stick with unetbootin. It worked great, and I chose Finnish for my language.
