Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I have tried installing both 7.10 and 8.04 and got the same probelm both times.
I tried installing PC Linux OS into the same space without a similar problem.
The installer gets about 50% through the copying files process and then fails.
It suggests either the CD or my Hard disk is at fault (read/write error) but
the 7.10 was from a factory produced CD and the 8.04 was from a version burned
onto a DVD. So different media, different format (save drive reading). The hard
disk has been successfully filled with files as a windows partition previously
and formattted OK by the partitioner.
Last attempt yielded this message:
Installer Crashed

I had to install PC Linux OS so that I could get a GRUB so I could get access
to my Windows installation.
ptn0: is a recovery partition for Windows (2.9gb.
ptn1 is the windows (NTFS) partition (35.6GB),
ptn2 is 32.2 Linux root and
ptn3 is Linux swap,
leaving about 800Mb unallocated.
therefore I don't have access to the requested log files. Where would I
find them, and how?
I REALLY want Ubuntu. IT finds all the hardware etc so much better. So
any guidance would be most welcome.
Chris.
