Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was trying to re-install Ubuntu 6.10 from the Live CD and first it
would crash and tell me that the hard disk must be overheated or
something like that.  Then after a couple of retries, it gave me this
bug report:

We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not
attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to
the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what
went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach
the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    fdst = open(dst, 'wb')
IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system:

It gives me this when I choose the option for erasing the hard disk
drive, but when I choose the option for a manual partition, it just
seems to freeze right after I have set up the partitions
