Comment 54 for bug 220961

Attempting to install 14.10 dual boot along side windows 8 on HP Stream 11 laptop.

The installer automatically resized the Ubuntu partition to 7.1 GB. I applied the "install updates" during installation. It copied and installed everything just fine up to the point where it was "configuring the linux image extras" and then the installer crashed out.

I will add that the installer was taking a very long time, over an hour just to get to this point where it crashed.

I'll try to partition the drive myself or try it without the updates and see if that works.
