Crash during the installation with 6.06 desktop.
I don't know why.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Could you please attach the full versions of /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, using the "Add Attachment" link on the bug's web page? Thanks in advance.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Thanks for your report. At present, you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation; bug 47046 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front. If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades rather than using this installer.

(You're also out of memory. I do not need the log files requested by John.)
