Well that was long winded - I downloaded the standard desktop image, cut a CD from it and booted another PC live, then used USB-Creator to make an alternative boot key that actually worked and doesn't fail at detect- cd roms.
Surely it shouldn't be that hard to get the alternative CD to work as a USB key install? Is it not better to fix the issue with CD-ROM detect, than mask it with USB-Creator? Anyway, thanks for the feedback in this bug. It's got me a fully disk- encrypted laptop and I'm now on track to introducing at least another 4 such machines at my work. -- Alternate CD cdrom-detect.postinst does not consider USB flash drive/key. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234185 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
