I already used the daily image; and yes I got the (re)installation to complete without crashing. BUT the freshly (re)installed Ubuntu system remained unstable and therefore unusable due to other bugs that were introduced or re-introduced by the two Ubuntu Updater packages pushed out since mid-September. Even with the fresh re-installation from the daily image, I still have:

-there are problems with the new compression algorithm for initramfs
-there are issues with startup hanging with a spinning Ubuntu logo, forcing hard power down
-there are issues with startup going into suspend as soon as the login password is entered

These were why I did a full erase and re-install of Ubuntu to start with: these bugs had, in the week or two prior, made Ubuntu frighteningly unstable. I too hope that this all gets solved soon.

There are bug reports on all of these: see bugs #1872159, 1835660, 1897185. There are related and/or duplicates of some of these also.
