The crash message referred to /var/log/installer/syslog
and /va/log/installer/partman their is no /var/log/installer on machine. The system boots with the ubuntu disk in it ok. i am sending you the message from the machine on which the install crashed. I tried installing with a newer moniter attached, a NEC Multisync E700 and the install crashed in the same place.

I loaded Mepis linux and then Ubuntu linux on the same drive. I now have a dual boot machine with both linuxi working even though the compiler still said it crashed a about 99%. It was just removing files anyway.
