It would be fine to un-confirm; How would I do that?
Also, in future, are there fundamental logs that I can post with bug reports at the time of bug?

As far as a 'precise' description, I can make a general attempt, but it was so long ago that I don't think it would be accurte to the point of my own memory 'filling' in blanks.. However, my issue had to do with incoming data through network, not about package installation itself, but that it had to download to do so and would (seemingly radomly) crash. This particular error was the only thing that would catch to report. At first it seemed that any D/L bundles around 600-900mbytes or video streams for 20+ mins would incur the crash ( crash = system freeze/unresponsiveness ), then it began doing so on smaller package installs such as what included the sun-java6-doc*. I suspected hardware, so I stripped all extra hardware; i.e. 4x 2G memory down to one 2G stick at a time, rotating them each (same) failure, stripped & swapped the two video cards, turned off all unessessary periphrials in BIOS, as well as using different nics, All with stress testing.. crash always came back in each config, while network was actively d/l'ing. Could be mobo/cpu.. The Only way it stopped was either to go back to Ubuntu Studio 8.10 or use ubuntu 9.04.

I assume the bug report also reports the flavor of ubuntu, but if not I first Upgraded from studio 8.10 to studio 9.04 with no probs, except from what I did to it, and needed to do a clean install to studio 9.04, which is where this issue presented itself..

All in all, If the moderator feels that it's nessessary to null this report, feel free to do so- I moved on from this..
But thank you all for addressing this post!
