i have since tried it 3 or 4 times from scratch and it happens every time. cannot install kubuntu.
it happens at the very end of installing the bootloader, or the very begining of the next phase. i say that since the last thing i see before the installer crashes is the bootloader at %96 done. of note, i sucessfully installed and ran it a week ago so i figure its likely some sort of change in the packages that are downloaded during the updates. -- crash at end of kubuntu 6.06 install https://launchpad.net/bugs/50175 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
