I went back and burned a CD with the last Lucid Alpha release. Used the same CD/DVD drive as with the beta ISO.
Installation of the Alpha release ISO works ! So it appears something broke for installation between the Alpha and Beta releases. FYI -- using the Beta ISO file to install the installation "always" fails due to an I/O error when the system is about 60% done COPYing files to the target hard disk. Either that or both the server and desktop ISO images are bad. -- Lucid Beta 2 fails install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561584 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
