[Bug 947738] Re: precise failed to install: unable to initialize policy plugin

[Erick Brunzell]

About duplicate bug 980451 I notice the explanation says, "installing to
a external drive, ubiquity crashed. External drive was formatted - "do
somethng else" was chosen , no swap, / was selected on a ntfs
partition."

That raises two red flags for me; using NTFS??? and no swap???

A manual install should proceed w/o swap but where does NTFS play into
this?

I do have a blank 160GB external USB drive that I could test with if I
knew exactly how to reproduce, but I don't think we can install Ubuntu
to NTFS, can we?
