[Bug 1678264] Re: Xubuntu crashed on installation. Couldn't install bootloder, fatal error.

[Morten Hauge]

I got it working by formatting the USB stick as a DD image instead of an
ISO image and then reinstalling the newly created linux partition. Thanks
for the help though, it will come in handy if I ever have to reinstall the
system!
