Public bug reported:

Considering the dates on similar problems, this may need bringing to
your attention again.  I tried to install Ubuntu 12.04 and all was well
until the signon.  In the middle of entering my name, I got the
"installer crashed" message.  Prior to this, the same thing happened
with 12.10.  The only difference was that then, I was taken to a desktop
where an icon appeared which gave the option to install 12.10 (again).
I took it and this time it went much farther, finally freezing 14
minutes into the "Copying Files" message.

I have a new (to me) machine.  It's a 2006 eMachines T3120 with:
1.80GHz AMD Sempron processor
128MB Primary Cache
256MB Secondary Cache
Bus Clock 201 MHz
2GB memory (I just upgraded from 512MB)
100GB HDD

It previously had Windows XP-SP3 on it.  It was very slow, which is why
I upgraded its memory to the max before trying Ubuntu on it.  This
improved its XP performance eight-fold.

 I previously used the same 12.04 install disk (downloaded *.iso to disc
using Roxio Creator 2012 Pro) on another older machine last year and it
worked fine - I've been using it for more than 6 months).
