OK now I've installed the release version several times.
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso
...except of course I used the torrent link. ;-)

The first time I installed the release version I saw errors running fsck
on the new root partition. There were broken applets and such, too,
corroborating the brokenness.

SO this time I killed the installer after it was through formatting the
root partition. I booted again from the install image, and ran fsck and
it showed clean (on the mostly empty file system).

SO I restarted the installation and let it complete, and ran fsck before
the first boot -- it was clean. Then I ran fsck again after the first
boot and it is still completely clean.

So now this has gone from being completely reproduce-able to mostly NOT
reproduce-able.

I may try one more install (letting it go through the entire process
completely uninterrupted) but apparently some tweak to the code has made
this much better.... I cannot explain the first bad install...
