This was Ubuntu, OEM for a dual-boot system. If we want OEMs to sell 
computers with Linux pre-installed then this is a major bug. It doesn't 
exactly feel you (the OEM) with confidence when the screen goes black 
and you don't know what you're saying yes to.

It's happened twice on two computers. But you're missing the point, 
we're not talking about an Ubuntu fan installing Ubuntu himself. Dapper 
is supposed to be enterprise ready, and this installer is supposed to be 
for OEMs who want to sell Linux pre-installed; an dit fails in a really 
bad way.
