I need some help. My laptop has no cd/dvd drive so I was wanting to install ubuntu studio with a flash drive. I managed to do this with regular Ubuntu so I figured it would be pretty easy.

I used UNetbootin to get the iso onto the drive and set up booting and what have you, and then I successfully loaded the installation process. Then it failed almost immediately because it couldn't find my cd-rom drive. I mounted the usb drive onto the cdrom path and then it found the cd-rom but couldn't load any data from it.

Any suggestions?

Do either of you have Ubuntu 8.10 running on a computer?

No, I was about to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 though. Why do you ask?

8.10 has a System/Admin option to create a startup USB that can be used to install or run an OS from a USB stick.

Is that not the same as UNetbootin? The problem isn't with getting it to boot, but trying to get it to recognize that I'm using a USB and not a DVD.
