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

[stan]

thanks for the response. I have since installed Ubuntu without hitch. I may have selected wrong partition to install to. I am dual booting Ubuntu and Windows7..and I do have a swap space assigned. Once again , I appreciate the response.
