Good to hear you got your live session going, well done. In my case, I have always been able to get the live session running without any problem (apart from the USB wireless dongle being unable to connect to the wireless network in 9.10 (no problem with it in 9.04) and I was able to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 ok (albeit with the same connection problem).
This is definitely an installation bug in my case. The fact that the install never gets as far as the partition manager probably means (I.m guessing here) it is before grub2 is installed and before ext4 file system has come into play. -- ubuntu 9.10 won't install on dell dimension e520 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
