Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Was attempting to install Ubuntu 6.10 to my iPod via Firewire (to use as a portable personal Ubuntu installation- attach to Mac, reboot, voila-Ubuntu). The drive was not completely clean at the time- I had been attempting this in various ways for a while, before finally deciding to let Ubuntu handle it automatically. Unfortunately, wound up with this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This should be possible with Intrepid. Please reopen if it isn't.
