IIRC, livecd-iso-to-disk picks up the checksum info for the image from the Fedora website. Obviously it won't have Ubuntu checksums, so you'll have to take it on faith that the image is correct. > > WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON /dev/sdc!!! > Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort > > Waiting for devices to settle... > mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) > Filesystem label=LIVE > OS type: Linux > Block size=4096 (log=2) > Fragment size=4096 (log=2) > Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks > 61440 inodes, 245504 blocks > 12275 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user > First data block=0 > Maximum filesystem blocks=251658240 > 8 block groups > 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group > 7680 inodes per group > Superblock backups stored on blocks: > 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376 > > Writing inode tables: done > Creating journal (4096 blocks): done > Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done > > This filesystem will be automatically checked every 36 mounts or > 180 days, whichever comes first.

My guess is that the iso isn't truly an iso image (with a boot loader) or, at least, the boot loader isn't compatible with a flash drive. I believe Laurin suggested using Unetbootin. I've had fairly good luck with it myself, but not specifically in trying to get Ubuntu to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "I understand Windows 2000 has a Y2K problem." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
