Installer crashed - 10.10 install from USB

[tenden]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installer crashed when installing 10.10 from USB

Crashes near the very end of the install

Checked both options at beginning of install that install mp3, flash and other programs and one that automatically installs updates.
