Bug Description

In my setup (MSI-16L2 "GT62VR 6RD") with one SSD and one HDD I tried to install ubuntu on a partition in the middle of the 1TB HDD. Selected to install bootloader there because I didn't know what it should mean in uEFI mode and maybe the recovery bootloader was placed there somewhere in the other partitions or /dev/sdb directly.
(Additionally, not everything was visible at any time because the display resolution is limited to 800x600 even though it is a 1920x1080 display - nVidia-powered gsync)
What happened: got an error message from ubiquity installer about an IO error and that I should check the installation media, then was asked to report the error
Expected: installation should have continued.

There were errors in filesystem.squashfs indeed.
Sadly, skipping these 3 files without restarting live session was not possible
(so I downloaded a new image over night using bitTorrent to prevent from undiscovered download errors and to not have to download over and over again - connection slower than 2176 kbps / many DSL low-level errors and no clue about rsync).
This bug may be closed. I wouldn't have posted here if I wasn't asked to do so after a crash _right after_ ubiquity installer showed an error message about corrupted installation media.
