Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Steps to reproduce:
- Mount an NFS drive (use mount or specify in /etc/fstab. NFS kioslave is currently broken)
- Select an .iso file on that NFS share
- Click 'make startup disk'
- The error message 'installation failed' will show up.

This message is not clear about the reason of the failure.

Possible solutions:
- Find out why images can not reside on a mounted drive
- If there are technical reasons for not allowing reading from NFS, adapt the error message to say so.
