I'm having the same problem. I tried with the Ubuntu desktop CD and with the alternate CD. I also tried creating the usb disk with the usb creator from Ubuntu and with the tool from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe
But the installation always fails with the message: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed". -- An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed upon install from USB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658865 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
