Second step: I ran a live session, that went apparently OK. From there, I selected "install Xubuntu". First point, I checked the install CD: no error message. Secondly I ran the system install. It crashed at the exact same stage as during the first attempt (see above). But this time I could retrieve the two requested log files, that are now attached to this bug report.
