Sat Jan 5 11:28:34 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

i'm really not a big ubuntu geek, though i like it much, so please don't
shout at me if this all is quite noobish or so ...

What i was doing: installed latest LTS (12.04.01) on 4GB USB flash drive
with like 3GB or so casper-rw space. Then i tried to upgrade the
Installation. i had quite some troubles because my Netbook is an old
Aspire One A110L with only one GB of RAM, so i was googling my problems
and solving them too, but then the crash reporter suddelny wanted to
send in some stuff to you guys and i let him and am writing here to you
now. so no drama, no hurry, just hope this is of interest and help for
somebody, don't worry about me, i'm fine.
