[Bug 1500078] Re: Installer crashed on setup Dell XPS Developer Edition

[Matthew Abernathy]

I'm afraid I reinstalled and did not have the problem happen again.

The difference between the origin boot and the reinstall is that I did not
select the dell recovery media option during startup. I've since learned
that the dell recovery disc creator in its original form crashes, and I
suspect that the crash stopped the whole setup.

Sorry, I'm a bit of beginner with bug reports.
