Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Lots of problems installing onto a USB drive.
If you select the drive and say "erase all", the format fails (probably
because it stays mounted).
If you partition and format it ahead of the installer, then tell linux
to not auto-mount USB devices, you get past the format, but the install
dies with an error complaining of a read-only file-system, or an "I/O
error". The drive's red access light remains on as though the drive
were hung. I've tried to disks in the USB chassis, and both do this.
The really weird part is that the first time I installed, it worked, but
not since.
