Installer crashed

[Roland Cicanese]

I am new to ubuntu. I was trying to install Lubuntu on an older pc, pentium 4, 512 meg memory. I burned an iso on CD from the downloaded file lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso. After about 10 or 15 minutes, it reported that the installer had crashed.

I tried the install again with the option to download updates while installing deselected (I had selected this option on my first attempt when the installer failed and I reported this bug.). It installed fine this time.

Good job on discovering the workaround. This bug is a duplicate of bug 1277706 and is being marked as such.
