10.04 Live CD
choose install Ubuntu from the keypress initial menu (not the desktop)
soon see an error window
(window title) Installation failed
(window content)
'The installer encountered an unrecoverable error.
A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again'
I note that although the10.04 release notes include this as a possible issue with the impolication of it being intermittent, I find that this is repeatable according to machine.
