Public bug reported: Hi I'm a new Linux user so I can't really provide you with much details. I'm attaching the 2 files requested and a copy+paste of the "Installer crashed" message. This has occured twice on my machine (Intel pentium 4 1.5 Ghz, 512 MB, Intel GB850 MB, 8.3 GM Maxtor HD). Installation has been ordered to format the HD it's being installed on and this was the result I got in the end of the installtion:
