  First off I apologize for my long windedness.  I can't seem to attach more than one file but here is the issue; I downloaded the BT4R2 iso and made a DVD in Ubuntu rebooted and started from DVD selected persistant Live CD (KDE version: 3.5.10, User: root, Hostname: bt, System: Linux, Release: 2.6.35.8, Machine: i836) typed startx at prompt checked things out looks good etc... clicked on install.sh everything goes great and smooth untill 94% running grub-install and get the following pop up, Installer crashed "We're sorry ect" 
  Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity", line 229, in <module>
