I've tried it with a number of Live Linux distros that all run fine from
CD, and they all seem to be consistently searching for the CDROM. I
tried tweaking some of the Unetbootin GRUB command lines without any
success.
Probably the real problem is that I'm not using a USB stick. I'm using a
4GB compact flash card in a PCMCIA slot card reader ... computer stuff
around here is never as simple as it should be!
I did finally get US 8.10 installed from a DVD (burned at 8x speed).
That DVD totalled 1.2GB. I tried the same trick (burn at 8x speed) with
ArtistX .6 and .7, and both of the installs failed partway through with
I/O error messages. The ArtistX DVD's are 3.3GB, so I think the laptop's
DVD drive has problems reading data past a certain distance on the disc.
US 8.10 runs fine here with latency set around 10 msec.
Big annoyance about US 8.10 - it has Pulseaudio installed and running,
so I always have to killall pulseaudio before JACK will start. When I
get through with the installation gyrations, I'll deal with that
permanently.

I dont't think this is a unetbootin error...
This is the only way I install lately, broken cd drives and missing cd
drives.
If the stick has verified ok I'd think it's a problem with the actual
installation. Your internet connection perhaps? Or a bug in the installer..
But there are lots of variables, I could definitely be wrong.
Btw, 8.10 is not a recommended release, or so I have heard...?

That install fails. It gets to 6% of the way downloading software,
reports that there's an error, and just returns me to the select and
install software stage.
I posted on the Unetbootin forum, will see if I hear from anyone ...
thanks.

Currently trying a Kubuntu 8.10 net install
image, it is downloading
things. I think there are instructions on the Ubuntu Studio site for
turning a stock Ubuntu installation into an Ubuntu Studio
installation.
