I created an Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 USB Startup Disk with 4GB persistent space and ran a full update after booting.

The link /vmlinuz points to a missing file boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic - this file does not exist on the USB Startup Disk, it is not installed when the disk is created. The absence of this file prevents some updates and package installations from completing.

As a workaround, sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-20-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic, will allow installation to complete. There is an error on the first reboot, after which Ubuntu 10.04 appears to boot correctly with wireless enabled.
