I got an error message saying the "Installer crashed".

It told me to come here and file a bug report and include the following:

I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-S360. I was updating the system clock since it was off several hours. (I think it's the GMT v UTC issue.) It got the correct time and I clicked to continue and it crashed. It's at the keyboard selection page.
