I've tried it with a number of Live Linux distros that all run fine from CD, and they all seem to be consistently searching for the CDROM. I tried tweaking some of the Unetbootin GRUB command lines without any success. Probably the real problem is that I'm not using a USB stick. I'm using a 4GB compact flash card in a PCMCIA slot card reader ... computer stuff around here is never as simple as it should be! I did finally get US 8.10 installed from a DVD (burned at 8x speed). That DVD totalled 1.2GB. I tried the same trick (burn at 8x speed) with ArtistX .6 and .7, and both of the installs failed partway through with I/O error messages. The ArtistX DVD's are 3.3GB, so I think the laptop's DVD drive has problems reading data past a certain distance on the disc. US 8.10 runs fine here with latency set around 10 msec. Big annoyance about US 8.10 - it has Pulseaudio installed and running, so I always have to killall pulseaudio before JACK will start. When I get through with the installation gyrations, I'll deal with that permanently.
