@Rick Graves:
Thanks for your suggested work around, but it doesn't work with LinuxMint 13 KDE 64bit. I haven't tried installing Kubuntu 12.04.
During the Mint 13 KDE 64bit Install I do *not* create partitions as all partitions were already created from within Mint 13 Cinnamon 64bit. Grub was already installed during the Cinnamon 64 bit install. So, during the KDE install I pick the manual partition option to select the partitions for /root, /home, and swap. During the first install attempt I did not have the KDE installer reformat the sda7 partition as it was formatted from within the Cinnamon 64 bit install. During another install attempt I let the KDE installer reformat the sda7 partition. The KDE installer crashed during both attempts, and went on to crash in all remaining attempts. So after the first two failed install attempts I tried the following:
- reboot, run the install, let the install crash, and then just re-run the install again without rebooting
The install continues to crash.
All of the other Mint 13 disto installs completed without any problems. Prior to the Mint 13 installs several other Linux distro versions were installed without a problem. During the Mint 13 Cinnamon 64bit install I removed all of the prior partitions and recreated the partition setup listed in my first post.
