Rename Bug from "Crash while installing LinuxMint 8 x64" to "Crash while installing LinuxMint 8".

On x86 same error.

These syslog messages indicate a problem reading from the CD. This is generally due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, rather than being an installer bug as such (and there isn't much we can do about it in the installer since the read error may have corrupted installer code ...). It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, or to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers).

what is my problem?
copying files gone, begin the installation process,
and suddenly the installation process stops at 81% when setting the time zone.
