Try starting up from the live CD and run the 'USB startup disc creator' from the menu. I also recommend the Unetbooting method detailed bellow.

I think that you were able to prepare Live USB Flash disk, you booted and you saw the 9.10 desktop with icon to install. Did you press it and made the installation to the end? Or how far are you? It's not clear to nobody I think.

In Reply #1 is this:
Boot From ISO -- use of GRUB 2 loopback
Boot your Kubuntu Live CD ISO from your flashdrive

You build a live flash drive from your Kubuntu iso file, boot it, and you can install Kubuntu.
However, this is kind of new, experimental, technical, and all I know is what I wrote there after a brief but successful test. As they say, YMMV.

ScaroDj -- right. I had forgotten usb-creator can also do it from the iso file. Nice catch.
Lately, I've been obsessed playing with Kubuntu iso's, seeing what it takes in GRUB 2 to use loopback to boot from such. Thus, the how-to I linked. But for our friend here, yes, you got it: use the usb-creator and be done with it. (usb-creator boots using Syslinux; the "boot from iso" links deals with using only GRUB 2; but that's irrelevant).

The USB creator didn't work for me - didn't copy all the files and then said the checksum was bad.

Method I used is detailed here... pretty easy, and you can probably skip the first few steps and just go straight to unetbootin. That program has proved very good.
