Public bug reported: Ok, the program didn't die so much as give me the option to abort, retry, or skip. When you hit 'abort', it triggers the bug reporting dialog box.
I had downloaded the iso image, burned it to a dvd, put it into this computer and tried to install Ubuntu with it. Apparently a few blocks are bad, because halfway through copying files to the hard drive, two files failed the checksum test. Rather than burn another dvd or replace the dvd drive, I propose a new option: "retrieve corrupted file from the net and continue", much like the net-install does. Thanks!
