Repeatable. Just tested again using the liveCD - digital photos turned
out better this time. Tried to do an install w/liveCD over the existing
9.10 Beta.

Selected 'Erase and use the entire disk'
 SCSII (0,0,0) (sda) - 10.2 GB ATA ST310212A
 ! This will delete Ubuntu karmic (development branch) (9.10) and
install Ubuntu 9.10.

Eventually pops up with 'This comouter has only 0 bytes disk space
remaining...' Then it goes to liveCD desktop & both the
GNOME_IndicatorApplet and the GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet's crash.
(Forgot to mention that they also did in the previous liveCD install
attempts.

Just for grins, I'm going to format the 10.2G and see if it installs if
nothing is on there.


I guess it's off to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity
after I finish my other projects.
