boot - Symbolic links error while creating Ubuntu UEFI bootable USB

I have tried to create UEFI bootable USB drive within Ubuntu 14.10 (Startup disk creator didn't help nor I am interested in using it.).
I have formated USB with FAT32 and GPT. So the only thing left to do would be just to copy all files from ISO to USB. That method worked when it comes to Linux Mint 17.1 and Clonezilla live CD, but when I tried to create bootable USB for Ubuntu 14.04 or Kubuntu 15.04 beta 1 there was an error copying files. Actually, on several occasions (4 or 5) pop-up window appeared.

After ignoring this errors, both Ubuntu and Kubuntu USB boot-up just fine, with no apparent problems in Live mode.




  1. Can someone please elaborate what this symbolic links presents?

  2. Will this cause some problem when OS is installed?
