Dave, It's not your bad luck, I had the exact same problem when I tried installing the 10.04 Live CD a while ago. Tried multiple times installing from the CD, and each time it failed at a different point in the process.
So I too tried installing from a USB stick, and it worked the first time. The install proceeded smoothly, as it should. I think I may have posted my experience to the group back then, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, glad you've got it installed! Enjoy.
