Bug Description

Downloaded and burned 6.06LTS CD. Tried with different CD-ROMs, the installer always crashed and gave the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 55, in install
    ret = wizard.run()

    raise RuntimeError, ("Install failed with exit code %s; see "

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 47687, and occurs when you select a Chinese language (either Simplified or Traditional) but then select a non-Chinese-speaking country on the timezone/country selection page. At present, I'm afraid the workaround is to select a Chinese-speaking country.
