I had the same problem. Installing from a microSD in a card reader. No combination of unplugging/re-inserting helped.

So, I put the ISO on a regular USB memory thingy – a Lexar 4GB. It worked fine.

When I was dd-ing the ISO on, I noticed that it was close to 2GB, maybe slightly over? My microSD was 2GB :-(

It booted live image OK, but maybe the install uses different parts of the ISO?

If the image is bigger than the card/usb, DD will just report it at the end when it has no more space to write to, only if verbose mode is used. The resulting card/usb will not be usable in almost all cases.
