Installer crashed on Eee 900 (something about installing apt from CD?)

[forteller]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I was installing Natty A3 on an Eee PC 900 and had told it to download updates during installs + install codecs/proprietary stuff. After the install had run for a while (maybe it was at the very end. I don't know) I got a popup saying something about it being unable to install apt from CD (I think). I was installling from USB (created with Unetbootin), there's no CD or other optical drive connected.

After dismissing that message (that's the reason I can't tell for sure what it said: I don't remember and I can't see the message anymore) another popup showed up, telling me to file this bug. I hope it is of help! Thanks for your great work!

I was told to add two log files, but I could only add one. So here's the other.

I tried again, without choosing to download anything this time. I go the same error message (translated from Norwegian by me): Trying to set up apt to install more packages from CD failed (or was unsuccessful).

I also got this error message when trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition.
