Bug Description

The installer created a 3.1GB/3.0GB partition setup. The system is using VirtualBox 4.1.8 with a Dynamically-sized VDI image. The host still has 13.6GB free. The installer crashed at some point after the questionaire while showing various splashes. Also, possibly unrelated, I had to select Ubuntu (64-bit) as the bootloader threw an error with Ubuntu selected even though this is the i386 installer image.
