Title:
  Fresh install from flash disk fails (can't read packages)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I wiped out my old Linux ext4 partition and created a new partition
  (alongside Windows).

  The installer seems to be fine -- copying files, OK -- and then it
  tries to read package indexes from the USB stick that I'm installing
  from. Here, this step fails and it causes the installer process to
  crash.

  I am going to try again from a DVD, but if that fails again, I will
  have no choice but to go back to Ubuntu (vanilla). I really want the
  audio configuration from Ubuntu Studio but if the installer is
  broken... don't have time for that.
