Wow, first date I can find for this is 3 YEARS ago. Please, please, if you're not going to fix this, at LEAST change the error message!
Had this problem for days, over the course of about three weeks, trying 10.04.1, 10.10, and Mint9. Went out and bought a new DVD drive: didn't help. Burned ISO at low speed: didn't help. Swapped out memory: didn't help. Removed some memory: didn't help. Finally got it installed today using the 10.10 alternate-i386.iso. (FWIW, did a 4x-speed ISO burn to a DVD disk on the same drive used to install, and left out half the memory. No idea which part did the trick.) To all the Linux aficionados who wonder why people don't convert in droves: this is exactly the type of reason why. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245794 Title: [Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
