Bug Description

DAPPER Final beta live install. All roses in live CD run, so install..
After choosing expert in the FIRST screen on partitioning (have WIN running on Toshiba Laptop as well) i gotailed error and hanging. Could just save it to USB stick before reboot, see log:
------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 112, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 52, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 305, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 719, in process_step
    self.process_disk_selection()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 771, in process_disk_selection
    if self.manual_choice is None or unicode(choice, "utf-8") == self.manual_choice:
TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
------
Workaround: choose a disk and the next screen will let you do what you want.

Took some nerve, I feared the choice of HDA1 might finish off Windows. No problemos whatsoever luckiliy

This is a known bug and IIRC fixed in a newer version. Please try the
latest daily live iso. If the bug still occurs,
attach /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug.
