Bug Description

Some of the option I used:
- Try Mythbuntu without installing, then launched the desktop shortcut.
- Chose Primary backend/frontend.
- Did not enable/disable any services.
- Used the "something else" option to install to a partition I had already set up.

I had answered all questions, e.g. user name, time zone, and it looked like the install was going OK. Then I got the "Installer crashed" pop-up, and here I am.
