Hi Colin! Thanks for your reply. With your words in mind, i did the disk check that the installation CD offers me. It did not report any errors. So I tried again to install Xubuntu 9.04 beta. This time, ubiquity just disappeared from the screen after a while. An hour ago, I tried it again, and at about 78% (that took about 30 minutes) ubiquity brought up a message box that said that there were troubles reading the CD. So I thought again and I have noticed that I put the CD in the plain old DVD drive (built about in 2003, used very often) instead of the modern DVD±RW drive (built about in 2006, used seldomly). However, I commanded "sudo reboot" and tried it again with the newer drive. This worked out! So, a little blame on me, because it was my DVD drive that caused the error. I will through it out of the window immediately. But also a little blame on ubiquity, because it's unacceptable that it crashes or just disappears in case of disk reading errors! Also I would like to have a possibility to retry and not just click "OK" and start over again completely in case I want to try it again. May be it's off-topic, but I would appreciate the option to install Ubuntu off a memory card or USB flash memory, because they are much handier and faster than CDs and DVDs.
