Root of problem: The problem is that the file structure on the usb differs to what is on a livecd and apt-setup is unaware of this. Workaround: To resolve this, simply copy the contents of filesystem.squashfs on the iso into the usb stick. Luckily the parts it is reading from this appear to be just apt config files so the fact that you loose symbolic links and permissions etc on a FAT32 usb stick shouldn't matter. On your current Linux installation: (If you don't have one you could use a live cd off a different usb stick) 1. Create USB stick. 2. Type in a terminal: sudo mkdir iso sudo mkdir source sudo mount -o loop pathtoiso/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso iso sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop iso/casper/filesystem.squashfs source sudo cp -pLr source/* pathtomountedusbstick (Thanks Klaas Hartmann for the workaround :)) Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) Package: ubiquity 2.4.8 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron:  LANG=en_US.UTF-8  SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Tags: maverick Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare
