Interesting that it seems to be working for you Evan. I haven't re- encountered the bug as I've been upgrading my Ubuntu systems since 10.10 rather than doing fresh installs. As I said in my original post, it was a repeatable bug with unetbootin 494 and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso. I tried several times with different USB sticks etc.
The other factors of interest were: * no cd/bd-rom drive in the system * no internet connectivity (the wi-fi card wasn't supported out of the box) I tried to muck around with the 40cdrom file as others have suggested here but didn't have much luck, perhaps due to my lack of a network connection (which bdowning suggests is necessary if you attempt that method). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658865 Title: Install from USB fails: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/estobuntu/+bug/658865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
