Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I am running ubiquity under VirtualBox 1.5.4 to test the Hardy installer
under low memory situations. I am using 192MB ram and a 128MB ccache
virtual swap partition.

Ubiquity defaults to attempt to install to /dev/ccache. This is
pointless as ccache will disappear on reboot. I would expect Ubiquity to
default to install on the physical harddisk.

It is also odd the ubiquity allows us to attempt to perform a guided
install on /dev/fd0. I don't think ubiquity should even offer to install
to /dev/fd* or /dev/ccache.
