Comment 1 for bug 908601

Correction: The method of directly copying the iso image to the stick works. The COM32R error message must have come from and older 10.04 LTS image I had copied onto the same USB stick to test the bugs in usb-creator-gtk.

However, the problem with booting from CD still exists.

Interestingly, booting from CD works when the USB stick is present at the same time, because the system then starts from CD and when it tries to mount itself instead uses the USB stick and successfully goes on.
