Bug Description
Newly-received Dell XPS 13 (9343), UK model CNX4313 with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed.
Very first power-on, and running through the initial 'setup' process. Inserted a 2GB USB Flash drive, and chose to create recovery media. Process started chugging away, and then suddenly crashed for no apparent reason.
