Let me clarify when this occured. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper on my Inspiron 8600 laptop, and ran the following command to upgrade to Edgy via the Desktop cd:

gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Almost immediately, a "fatal error" popped up, and, after clicking "close", the installer terminated.

Also note that running it again seems to be working. Dunno what crashed the first time.
