About duplicate bug 980451 I notice the explanation says, "installing to a external drive, ubiquity crashed. External drive was formatted - "do somethng else" was chosen , no swap, / was selected on a ntfs partition."

That raises two red flags for me; using NTFS??? and no swap???

A manual install should proceed w/o swap but where does NTFS play into this?

I do have a blank 160GB external USB drive that I could test with if I knew exactly how to reproduce, but I don't think we can install Ubuntu to NTFS, can we?
