(Get the code!)
I vote for option 1) all the time. We do not need a 100% foolproof solution because lets face it, how many people will have two sources of installation on a system? I cannot imagine why someone would put two install USBs or two CDs on a system at the same time. However, installation should be done with the least interaction with the user. USB support should be plug&play.
One easy foolproof would be to check how many installation sources are there and if there is more than one, list them on the screen with a message asking to remove/rename one of the sources and retry. No need to program interaction with the user; the install would simply abort with the message. Put an easter egg (nothing fancy, just some ascii art) there if you want for fun and lets see if anybody would ever see it. :)
Thank you Tormod for you involvement with the project. It is appreciated.
