Let me express my doubt: I succeeded in installing on memory stick today, but I reverted to my first attempt which is not represented in the logs I attached because of a restart, and which I mentioned only briefly in my report. In my first attempt, I did not burn any CD at all, I used only memory sticks. That attempt crashed the Kubuntu installer "KPackagekit" at 63%. And I found out myself from the log, that the cause of the crash at 63% was an attempt to read from CDRom, which was not available at all because I used nothing but memory sticks. The installer should not have tried to read the CDRom. However, my report shows I tried a second time from CD, failing at 99%. I decided to try a third time and I succeeded. I cheated, though. This time, I inserted the CD. And I restarted the install from memory stick. That helped to go past 63%. At 63%, my CD-player started to spin. That must have been what made me succeed. So my hardware did not really fail, I think. And I wonder: why should an installer look for a CD when it starts from a memory stick "startup disk" and installs on a target memory disk? Would it be of any use to redo my first attempt and report it's failure at 63% with logs attached? I am satisfied now, my third install succeeded, but maybe this is really a bug? Or is it just a misunderstanding on my part?
