Tried both the 0.5x and 1.0RC and both suffer the same failure. I used Unetbootin to install the ISO to the USB stick. It boots up and the installer is started, but when it detects hardware it fails on CDROM drive, regardless whether I have an IDE, SATA or USB CD/DVD drive. It fails to recognize that it's installing from the USB stick and continues to think it's installing from a CDROM that it can't find. I have no blank discs at this time to burn the ISO to disc.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The failure seems to be hardware specific, as we are not able to reproduce. Please create new bug report https://sourceforge.net/p/q4os/tickets/, specify your hardware.
Is there anybody else, who suffers similar issue ?

When using Unetbootin and testing more than one distro, be sure to completely wipe the usb stick clean with each use. Be sure to show hidden files and delete all files. If you do not, you will end up with a tainted install of whatever distro you are trying to install.
DO NOT RELY ON UNETBOOTIN TO DELETE THE FILES

Found the problem.

I have a similar problem with a Unetbootin-created boot USB stick.
Upon boot, it displays an error, then drops to a grub rescue prompt:
error: file '/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
Before creating the boot stick, I completely erased and formatted it. I'll try again with a different file system type.
