Installer crashed - "Install failed with exit code 1"

[Lars]

I selected "do not overwrite partitions" and wanted to install via CDROM over an existing Ubuntu 5.10 version. PS: I do have Hauppauge 350 PVR present...

I receive the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for your report. At present, you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation; the fact that the partitioner doesn't warn you about this is also bug 47046, and is fixed in 6.06.1. If you are upgrading an existing installation, then please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades rather than using this installer.

I get that the failure is a previously documented bug, but ever since
I tried to upgrade Xubuntu to 6.10 I have had nothing but problems.
This is simply the first time I have chosen to submit something. I
have downloaded Xubuntu 6.10 Alt, and Ubuntu 6.06 server with nothing
but errors. I may assume that they all require a freshly formatted HD.

Thanks for the feedback Gary. In the end i used the text based installer that worked fine.
