The USB installers have been pretty much broken all cycle. Last I heard was
to use dd. Nothing will now get fixed before release. If people have a
decent set of instructions using *any* usb installer to use 13.04 to
install 13.10, please put them onto the wiki; or even in a text file with
step by step explanation!

Regards,

Phill.
