Comment 10 for bug 234185

The best would maybe be if the installer, after not finding a real CD, would ask if it should scan USB drives as well. Anyway, I think support for install from USB devices is very useful. There are many PC's without CD drives (for instance the recent netbooks) and burning CDs (and using USB CD drives) seems wasteful now that USB sticks are everywhere and for cheap. So if we could try to accommodate it in the official CD, it would avoid all the hacks people have to come up with today.
