Hi there! Yes, that's right! Nice to hear that you're working for
Ubuntu!

Hmmmm, I think that's hard... The system in question is now my main work
system and I don't have the time to back it up and reinstall, nor do I
have a system right now I can try another install. So, I'm afraid
that's hard...

Presumably, the crash is related to the hardware I have, a Compal HGL30
notebook. It was 100% reproducible on this system, but I have not tried
any other systems. And it did turn out to be as simple as I described
in my original report, clicking "new partition" when "free space" was
not highlighted. If this works for you, then I would simply close the
bug.

Cheers,

Kjetil
