Colin, your comment is valid. However, my patch tries to mount /cdrom as vfat or iso9660. The likelihood that /cdrom on a hard disk exist as vfat is remote. The likelihood that /cdrom exist on another USB stick you are trying to install is also remote. How many users will be burned by this?
If I had the time, I would fix it. However, I am busy with my current open source project http://autopoweroff.sourceforge.net I agree that it is not robust. Probably we should add a test after mounting /cdrom to check if /cdrom indeed contains a valid Ubuntu image. `list-devices maybe-usb-floppy` should probably report the USB device/partition in the first place and thus `list-device partition` would not be necessary. I will leave to the author of this script to fix the issue. It has been months since I played with this thus my memory is failing. -- Alternate CD cdrom-detect.postinst does not consider USB flash drive/key. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
