Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD
IBM-ThinkPad R52

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 from LiveCD on a 16GB USB-Stick using the Startup Disk Creator.
After booting from it, I saw the progress dots running on the start screen running for ever (30 minutes until I switched off my Laptop). The whole time the in-use LED of the built-in Harddrive was on.
What is Ubuntu doing so long on the Harddisk?

Refer to discussion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595886

I could manage to install by help of UNetbootin tool, but this doesn't fulfil my needs, see:

When you created it, did you specify to reserve persistent space? If so, how much? Can you try again with no persistent storage (or very little)?

Alright, well with the information provided so far including the referenced discussion, my best guess is that you're seeing either bug #562312 or some permutation on it. I'm going to dupe to that bug.

If you don't agree, feel free to undupe but make sure to explain in more detail how your issue differs.
