update: I downloaded and installed the 20091020.2 image http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook-remix/daily-live/20091020.2/ -- I chose to use the entire disk (which failed so badly before) but this time the installation completed normally. After the first boot, there are lots of GNOME warnings (four applets are broken, and the gvfs-gdu- volume-monitor closed unexpectedly.) a sudo fsck -fn showed a few problems with the filesystem:
