So. I didn't manage to finish it last night, and I'm trying again, this time with a disk that was burned at the slowest possibly speed. It's at 63% or so, so if it's going to fail, it will fail soon.
If it does fail, I'll be dropping back to 7.10 and doing an upgrade from there instead of a clean install.
This is irritating.
EDIT:
So, yeah, it failed again. I is dropping back to 7.10 right now, and from there I'll be doing a dist-upgrade. Hopefully this will let me end up with a working 8.04 system. And if it doesn't, well, I won't even be back where I started, since I'll have to install all of my programs again. Gods, this is irritating.
Suggestion: DO NOT try to install 8.04 on a system which you need to be working. If you do, stick it in another partition so that the system will keep on working even if 8.04 borks its install.
