as far as i understand i am doing it ok. I checked with dmesg that my Kingston USB stick was sdb, then checked which devices were available at /dev and there it was /dev/sdb1 i noticed that after i do mount -t vfat /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /cdrom the installer goes funny and it cannot read the usb drive any more. I mean, before the problem is that it cannot autodetect the cdrom drive but it reads the content of the usb drive with no problems, as soon as i mount the usb drive on /cdrom the installer cannot read the content of the drive any more, it is like if i had removed it. I also tried few other options like doing directly mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom same problem. i might be doing something stupid because i cannot see anyone else complaning online about same error... but i cannot see what it might be. I checked few times and as far as i can see i am doing all ok. enrike -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
