I'm sorry, but I was not at home for two weeks. I tried to install the Kubuntu
Feisty Herd 2 and had problem . On my disk I have Windows 2000 and
PCLinuxOS2007.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 185, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 180, in main
    install(args[0])
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 56, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 328, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 804, in
process_step
    self.process_autopartitioning()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 858, in
process_autopartitioning
    choice = self.get_autopartition_choice()[0]

get_autopartition_choice
    choice = unicode(self.autopartition_buttongroup_texts[id])
KeyError: -1

please, contact with me, if you have any questions or I canhelp you any way
Thanks, Przemyslaw Marko

Thanks for getting back to me. This is also bug 76976, fixed in more recent versions of Feisty.
