[Bug 1035948] [NEW] Zorin install crashes repeatedly on install from CD to flash drive, on two different computers

[daveca]

Public bug reported:

This happens on two different laptops, an older Compaq Presario AMD and
a brand new Toshiba Satellite. Install process is to remove HDD so Zorin
cannot overwrite it, launch Zorin Live CD and attempt to install to 16
GB flash drive. Install crashes at "Help with Zorin screen" while
attempting to "creating user" The resulting flash drive has files but
wont boot. The Zorin instance does not crash. This process was tested
three times on two computers and crashes at the same place each time.
The Zorin CD was able to install a successful dual boot with Win XP on a
HDD.

The failed installs were from both launching the Zorin OS CD into the
OS, then to Install, and also from launch install from CD. WHen launch
install from CD, the Zorin start button does not work.

The file var/log/syslog is empty and not attached. var/log/partman is
attached

The purpose for installing w/o HDD was to prevent HDD overwrite by
accident, and to force Zorin install on flash drive instead of putting
that miserable GRUB on the HDD.
