I started ubuntu beta 9.10 from livecd-flash (converted to a usb stick using
isotostick.sh). I insert a flash drive, it is automounted, and nautilus opens
it. I press the unmount button (eject button on side panel), flash drive is
unmounted, but after that its power is down, and it is no longer present in
/dev/. So, having it unmounted, i cannot use it to install the system onto it.
I instead had to remove the flash drive, plug it back and issue "sudo umount
/dev/sdh" to have this all work. Not a very nice way for a newbie-friendly
distro IMHO.
Yes, i tried starting installation having the flash drive mounted, and
installer just made unmount itself. But it may be not obvious for another user
that the installer will be smart enough to do this.
