Public bug reported: I wiped out my old Linux ext4 partition and created a new partition (alongside Windows).
The installer seems to be fine -- copying files, OK -- and then it tries to read package indexes from the USB stick that I'm installing from. Here, this step fails and it causes the installer process to crash. I am going to try again from a DVD, but if that fails again, I will have no choice but to go back to Ubuntu (vanilla). I really want the audio configuration from Ubuntu Studio but if the installer is broken... don't have time for that.
