Thanks. Using either 64Studio 2.1 DVD image and ArtistX 7.0 DVD ISO, it makes a bootable flash drive that proceeds to try to mount a cdrom. The second link doesn't seem to lead to any place to download IMG files, and it doesn't look like 64Studio provides any img files ... well, they talk about it but don't seem to provide them ...

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. david wrote:

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. Robert Jonsson wrote:

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...? /Robert 2009/6/21 david <gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com <mailto:gnome@hawaii.rr.com>> That install fails.
