Title:
  Kubuntu installer crashes during USB-to-USB install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Kubuntu installer crashed.  Details which were unusual about this
  particular install:

  -- Used Kubuntu 11.10_Live 32-bit image
  -- Used unetbootin to prepare USB drive, with a 2.7GB persistent file store
  -- Finally, installation target was a single 4GB ext4 partition on a different USB drive.  No swap space allocated.

  Crash occurred after installation questions had been asked, i.e.,
  during the "real" install part.
