Kubuntu 6.06 installer crashed on auto HD format

[Ryan Walb]

I tried to install Kubuntu 6.06 Beta 2 on a x86 machine. I got to step 6 and selected the first option to auto format the whole drive (20GB). When I selected next it crashed. I tried it twice then rebooted and tried again. Same error every time. Bug report listed below.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Sorry I said option one was to format the whole drive, but I was wrong. I did select option one but it was to: Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space.

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 43015, and is fixed in current daily builds.
