ummm... funny thing that and sorry to be a bother about it all. turns out the crash was probably a consequence of not having an active internet connection. after attempting the install a couple of times without success I finally figured it out. Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Mandriva don't make it easy for pppoe using neo-luddites like myself to get hooked up to the Internet. Nevertheless, I would have thought that the install program at some point would have realised that there was indeed no internet connection and have informed the user or some such, rather than just crashing like that... ennyways... everything is up and running now. BTW, the only reason I sent the bug report in was because the error screen that showed up said to do so.
