[Bug 874831] [NEW] crash when trying to install Ubuntu 11.10

[Marian]

Public bug reported:

First of all, trying to directly install Ubuntu is bad, because it starts by partitioning THEN by asking the keyboard (and it's rather cumbersome to type /mnt/vm when having a French keyboard and the installer thinks the keyboard is English).
So, I firstly tried Ubuntu then clicked on the "Install Ubuntu 11.10" icon... and it crashed! Maybe because I wanted to put the bootloader on a partition and not on the MBR?
