I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my eMachines EM250 netbook. It doesn't have a disc drive so i have to use a USB memory stick for the install.

When installing 12.10 - "[Errno 5] Input/output error

This particular error is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment."

When booting 12.04 - "SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright (c) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al"

Any ideas what's going on here? Thanks.

Yep. Ubuntu is Ubuntu now. For netbooks i'd recommend Lubuntu or Xubuntu ...less memory intesive.
