[Bug 922949] Re: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing "install updates" as part of the install

[Graeme]

My bug just got marked as a dupe of this one. I'd like to note two
observations:

- I'd explicitly unchecked "install updates during install". I've noticed for the past 2-3 releases that Ubiquity completely ignores what you tell it in this regard and downloads updates during the install process anyway.
- If Ubiquity sees that a package doesn't match the checksum, why doesn't it wipe it out and try to re-download it, rather than just crashing?

Bug description:
  The installation of process of Ubuntu crashed due to encountering a
  corrupted package when downloaiding packages from the internet.  This
  can be due to failing memory on the system trying to install Ubuntu.

  One possible workaround may be to install Ubuntu and choosing not to
  install 3rd party software or updates and install updates after the
  installation succeeds.
