Installer crash because of Umlaut (at Step 5 of 7)

[keks]

Kubuntu 6.06 beta 2:

Install from CDROM to hard disk.

At step 5 of 7 of Install the application crashed. Reason is possibly the second character, a german 'ö', within the name requested in the first edit field (labled in german as 'Wie heißen Sie?')

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 42097, and is fixed in Flight CD 7.
