Comment 44 for bug 234185

Well that was long winded - I downloaded the standard desktop image, cut a CD from it and booted another PC live, then used USB-Creator to make an alternative boot key that actually worked and doesn't fail at detect-cd roms.

Surely it shouldn't be that hard to get the alternative CD to work as a USB key install? Is it not better to fix the issue with CD-ROM detect, than mask it with USB-Creator?

Anyway, thanks for the feedback in this bug. It's got me a fully disk-encrypted laptop and I'm now on track to introducing at least another 4 such machines at my work.
