Am I the only one who is quick enough to remove the CD befor the
tray closes? Or perhaps my DVD drive is a sjuggish mover!
My classification for this bug is 'irritating'. The importance of fixing
bugs like this quickly is to protect Ubuntu's reputation.

I tried putting 8.04.2 on a 2gb Kingston DataTraveller (less than £3
from E-buyer - but not worth buying on their own due to the cost of
delivery) and it didn't work. The boot failed. However 8.10 is fine.

Hi David
It's a pity UNR is only available as an image. The image writer just
dd's the data to the USB. The USB startup disk creator is more clever
because when it copies an iso you can also have a persistent storage
area on the stick.
