Comment 137 for bug 1325801

This time it worked better. It was possible to install the bootloader, and the Startup Disk Creator finished with a window

"The installation has finished ..."

It is still disliking the pendrive, but installed to it anyway. And it finished nicely by unmounting the pendrive and the loop mounted devices (which it did not with the i386 iso file as a source).

The pendrive is good. I can boot a[nother] computer with it, and the live session works well :-)

The option to create persistence (and select the size of the casper-rw file) has disappeared. It seems to be because of the -n option. (This is not a problem for me, because I know how to create persistence manually. But some beginners would appreciate the built-in option to create persistence.)

So I flashed the amd64 iso to the pendrive again, this time without -n and created persistence (I selected 1.5 GB).

This was a big step forward :-)
