Hello, I just created this bootable USB flash drive on a 4GB Kingston flash drive in Windows 7 x64 using the Windows utility. I booted from the thumb drive and installed almost 300 updates then rebooted. All was well until I started receiving error messages. I have received 3 so far. This is the 2nd one and I will submit the 3rd one in a moment. The first error I couldn't send because I got a message saying Firefox is still open and please close or restart it before sending this report. I'm paraphrasing from memory so that's not exactly what it said but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, it usually appears if you close Mozilla Firefox as try to reopen it too fast.

If you tell me how then I can try to resend the first error report for the error I received.

None of these error messages that popped up seem to have caused any apparent issues other than the messages notifying me that there was a problem. I took screen shots of every error I received so you need only ask and I will give them to you. Ask anything and it will be given to you promptly. I don't know much about these errors so I will refrain from speculating and in no way is this an angry rant to get your acts together to the opensource community. I understand that this is an community project and you don't have to give me anything. The complete opposite, I am a fan and I am only sending this error report in for the community because I know that every person that sends in a report is helping to make ubuntu linux all the more better for all of us and not only me.

I will leave you to it, please don't be shy to ask me questions and more information that will help you understand this bug. Linux is very interesting to me and I would like to wish you luck in taming and grooming this OS to becoming more stable and suitable for global dominance in the future.
