Public bug reported:
I tried to install Ubuntu YakketyYak from the boot media (on a USB flash
drive) to an external USB hard drive, but the installer crashed partway
through the installation, claiming that it had run into an input/output
error. I checked the USB connections to the computer and the external
hard drive, restarted the computer, and tried the install again, only to
get the exact same error at close to the same point in the installation.
On the off chance that the USB port I had it plugged into was faulty, I
plugged it into a different port and tried yet again, only to get the
same error at almost the same time. Now pondering if it was a problem
with the external hard drive itself or with its connector cable, I tried
installing to a second USB flash drive. Same result at pretty much the
same point in the installation, and here I am...
