This is a known error:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues

Crash if system partitions are not reformatted: [WWW] #47046

If you use manual partitioning and do not check the "Reformat?" box for 
filesystems you mount on /, /boot, /usr, /var, or subdirectories of those, 
then the installer may crash while copying files to the target system. The 
workaround is to make sure to reformat these filesystems (note that /home, 
/media/*, and so on do not need to be formatted). If you are upgrading an 
existing installation and want to save existing data, then you should 
follow the instructions in DapperUpgrades rather than using the Desktop 
CD's installer.


Yes -- that did happen to me.  I will try again with the boxes checked to 
"reformat" to see if that works.

Mike
