Hi,

I was just trying to install Ubuntu on a Foxconn NT-A3500 barebone, with
ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso. The machine does not have a regular
CDROM drive.


* my usual way to use usb-creator-gtk does not work since usb-creator-gtk currently crashes with segmentation fault somewhere in the process 


* I read somewhere that the 11.10 iso images can be copied to USB sticks directly. Boots into syslinux but then complains 

  vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R images


* I have an external USB bluray drive. Burning the image onto an old fashioned CDROM brings indeed the installation process up. But after identifying the keyboard type the installation process aborts when the system wants to mount the CD somewhere, because the CD drive does not appear as a block device and such is not mountable. 


Currently I do not see a clean and regular way to install ubuntu on that machine...
