Comment 8 for bug 94878

Wizo,
Yes, pass --no-migration-assistant to the installer (`ubiquity --no-migration-assistant`).

Pedro,
The bug you are describing was fixed after Herd 5. You should, if possible, try a more recent release, such as the Beta. The installer does give you the option to avoid importing the data, however, it does not give you the option to avoid detecting if there's data available to import, which is where the installer is currently crashing for this bug report.

I am aware that "My Documents" and "Favorites" are named differently in different localizations and migration-assistant accounts for this by reading the appropriate registry keys.
