Well i've tried using the universal usb installer.
i can boot fine with my usb flash drive.
but it stops the instalation process in the same area.
saying it cannot load instalation files from the cd.

im guessing the problem is, the instalation isnt automatically fetching
the install files from the usb by default, it is trying to access the
cd-rom.

is there a way we can make it search for instalation file in the usb
instead of the cdrom?
