Bug Description

- Booting from FLIGHT7
- Connecting to internet via PPPOECONF
- starting installer, going through to step 6, wherein
- I format a logical partition that has been destroyed earlier by WinXP (?) and
- choose another logical partition on same extended drive for installation
- in Step 7: Chose to use existing SWAP and mountpoint "/" for installation on "hdd5"
- installer starts (after confirming data) to format hdd3 with ext3
- stops after reaching 15% and crashes with following message appearing roughly 20secs later:

    dialog = gtk.Dialog(title, transient, gtk.DIALOG_MODAL, tuple(buttons))
RuntimeError: first member of each text/response id pair must be a string

- installer closes and leaves disappouinted user - once again no dapper for me... ;(
