Public bug reported:

Hi there, the Kubuntu installer GUI froze at 0% for about 20 minutes at
the formatting swap partition stage...

I'm test installing it onto an old 6gig maxtor, which took another o/s
no problem. I'm wondering if the maxtor is too old. I'm going to try
installing onto different drive..but I thought you might want this
posting anyway

the same thing happened with the ubuntu liveCD...

p.s. I closed the installer...which is when it gave me this error report
