Bug Description

Downloaded 2015-01-08 daily build of Ubuntu 15.04 and tried to install directly to sda4 which is a test partition I made. Plenty of room, about 260M. Locale is English US so no diacriticals in text. Crashes out trying to configure keyboard. I would love to paste the contents of /var/log/syslog and partman but it seems I can only attach one file at a time using this bug reporting tool. If you need partman, let me know.

Duh! That should read 260Gig, not Meg on test partition. I should have mentioned that I tried three times and it crashed at same place very time. - Jack
