Ops O_o

This is really bad!


   - Machine: http://phillw.net/hardware/BnA9pw11
   - I shared 128MB from 512MB RAM for the Graphics (I can drop my RAM to
   half and leave only 256MB for the system from BIOS)
   - I booted my machine from the LiveUSB - latest daily build
   (17-09-amd64) created by UNetbootin final version
   - Checked for Errors = passed
   - While on Desktop, I noticed that Print Screen does NOT work!!!!!!!
   - Yes, I chose Try Lubuntu without installation
   - Chose "Something Else"
   - While on the partition screen, once I finished and clicked "Continue"
   O_o ... the system crashed and kicked me out to the Login Screen (LightDM)
   with Other as username!!!!
   - There are two systems installed on this machine and there is 1GB RAM
   SWAP (I turned it off before installation) but usually, on the partitioning
   screen, it should be on.
   - I was trying to install Lubuntu on /dev/sda4

I will repeat one more time with Maximum possible RAM and see but this is
weird. Never had this, at least with Saucy!
