Back Track 5-R1 32 bit gnome installer crashes at creating user 82%

[paul]

installing 32bit Gnome backtrack 5. r1 to 16 Gb flash drive on Toshiba satellite 64 bit from a live usb. live usb works fine and used the instructions on http://www.infosecramblings.com/backtrack/backtrack-5-bootable-usb-thumb-drive-with-full-disk-encryption/ to partition, encrypt and format destination usb drive. installation from live usb to persistant usb stops at 99% of loading files and says installer crashed please report this bug to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug and attach two files (syslog & partman), could not save the files to media because it would not mount. also tried the same instructions disregarding the encryption and got same result

could not save syslog & partman because live system would not mount other media . seems like installer crashes when it starts the configuration of the installed files, the live version runs completely bug free on my laptop. Tried several times also tried without whole disk encryption with same results

Tried install again but on a 32 bit e-machine desktop with no hd's only flash drive with live system(4Gb) and install destination flash drive(16Gb) same results. install gets to creating user 82% and crashes, this time I could access the syslog & partman so I'll add them here also. hope someone can figure out whats happening so I can try Back Track 5.

This version has expired some times ago, and no backport is expected as there is no 'security' reported problem
