Bug Description
I am attempting to load Ubuntu on a CD-less Thinkpad. Debian Etch is running on boot partition hda1; swap is hda2. Have set up spare ext3 partition hda3 8.5GB in size for Ubuntu. Have Ubuntu Alternate ISO on USB flashdrive sda1. I run lubi as root from xfce4. It asks for target partition and I choose /dev/hda3. I choose default root/home/swap sizes. I point to sda1's mount point for the Ubuntu ISO, and Lubi says it is copying the ISO to the relevant destination (I assume it means hda3). A progress bar shows, but doesn't fill. However, the USB flashdrive flashes away for a while and seems to have copied over the ISO. Lubi invites me to reboot and select Ubuntu from grub. I do, but the installation produces the error message:-
ERROR:
Unable to access Alternate ISO - probably the installation was interrupted.
Please run the installer again.
