Bug Description

I've been following various forums & Wiki to see how to get mbr and grub on USB flash memory with no success, either for an install or USBLive. Example of failures follows.

We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise InstallStepError(

I couldn't see how to attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this window. I've got the files saved on /target/home/jerry if you can tell me where to send them.
