I tried usb-creator on 9.04 final to create a live 2GB stick with 1.2GB
persistence, and still get bad results:

1) the last percentage I saw, was something like 38%. After that usb-creator
stops and says everything is OK (!)
2) booting that stick only results in a busybox prompt. :-(

So live-booted 8.10 again, and used 8.10's usb-creator to write 9.04 iso
image to the 2 GB stick. That GUI goes all the way to 99/100%

BTW: the two loggings of 8.10 resp 9.04 show quite different values for the
parameter -p: 1190 versus 1292623872. It could be the -p parameter switched
from MBs to bytes, or it could a programming bug:

8.10: [11:44:34] ['/usr/share/usb-creator/install.py', '-s',
'/tmp/tmpxcMPRu/.', '-t', '/media/disk', '-p', '1190']
9.04: [11:19:40] ['/usr/share/usb-creator/install.py', '-s', u'/cdrom/.',
'-t', '/media/disk', '-p', '1292623872']

Could someone check / explain? Thanks.
