usb ubuntu

[Jason Dusek]

I find it really surprising that

 .  I can't just boot the install CD from USB.
 .  I can't turn mount the USB drive.

My extlinux.conf follows my sig, for what it's worth. This boots
up, allows me to select any boot option, and then fails on the
"searching for CDROM" part of debconf.
