Bug Description
The fix was to simply try to modify adtext.cfg, in addition to the other configuration files.

Original report follows:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
Create an USB Startup Disk of the Ubuntu 8.10 alternate image (either i386 or amd64).
Then boot from it and select the "Rescue a broken system" mode.
It will let you select the language and keyboard layout, then it will fail with:
[Detect and mount CD-ROM]
Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive...
Occurs at least with the following ubuntu images:
md5sum: ea6d44667ea3fd4
md5sum: f9e0494e91abb2d
USB disk created with package usb-creator_
If the usb-creator application is only designed to work with Ubuntu 'desktop' images, it should at least inform the user of this.

I am now using Jaunty alpha-6. The alternate images in jaunty also has the same problem as it insists me to insert a CDROM, although the (desktop) live CD works fine
If the script is not designed for non-liveCD, (or non-liveCD are only designed to be only in the CDROM form), ***please say so in the program***
Otherwise, we should modify either the usb-creator or the alternate and server installers to enable installation from non-CDROM removable media
