The installer crashed for what seemed like no reason. The only thing I did was open the terminal (I pressed details) a few seconds before the crash.

I used Rufus to make the installer on a rpeviously Ubuntu 12.10 USB. I did 2 passes on format and normal FAT. The installer was working fine with no warnings or errors when it suddenly crashed. I was connected to the internet by Ethernet.
