[Bug 999287] Re: lubuntu 12.04 installer failed

[Matt Hegarty]

I have got lubuntu installed by doing the following:

* Set noapic option at startup
* Do not install 3rd party binaries
* Ensure you update the installer.

This will usually still crash at the 'Detecting hardware' stage, but
will pass through to complete installation approx 1 in every 7 attempts
- have spent the weekend trying this out :-|
