Comment 5 for bug 1221356

I just tried this with saucy beta1 (gnome edition, as the unity one isn't available yet), with the same result:

Curiously, the saucy installer preferred the 13.04 iso over the 13.10 one when it could find both. In order to get it to even try the 13.10 iso, I had to rename the 13.04 one so it wouldn't be found, otherwise:

Just as a sanity check, I am once again including the sha1sums of the files I used. They match the published ones:
