I am also experiencing the above reported parted/gparted crash. This is, for me, consistently reproducable when attempting to install from a USB stick. Booting into "rescue mode" and getting a shell (without specifying a root filesystem) allows a little experimentation, which shows that disconnecting the USB stick allows gparted to run successfully. Re-insert the stick and the problem returns. I don't have an optical drive in this system, so I'll have to try a USB optical device and hope that works! (Either that or set up a net boot/install, which should work fine, albeit a bit of a chore for what should be a simple install).
