installer does not see second flash drive if plugged in after boot

[C.S.Cameron]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Using latest usb-creator and 8.10 Daily I installed full Ubuntu to second flash drive.
Installer did not see second flash drive when plugged in after system has booted.
It sees the second flash drive ok if it is plugged in at the first menu, (Language).
It installs to second drive fine.

Does this still occur with the final release of Ubuntu 8.10? Are you saying that ubiquity, the desktop installer, does not show the flash drive you are trying to install to as an option when the drive is plugged in before ubiquity starts, but it will show it if you plug it in after ubiquity starts?

Moving to partman-base for lack of a better place given the uncertain nature of the bug.

This is quite old. I recall that, (after fixing the formatting on my 8G
Kingston), everything worked fine.
Have been using an U-C install for the last month as my main O/S.
The only thing that I find missing is a method to boot my dual monitor
Nvidia desktop then switch to ATI drivers for my ATI laptop.
(I think switchconf is crippled in 8.10 anyway).
