While installing with the LiveCD(x86) the install failed.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
installed without failing.

it looks like this occurred because the /tmp/spawn_exitcode file couldn't be read.  This is probably b/c the filesystem was full or something and couldn't write the file.

This is not the installer's fault. You either didn't specify a root mountpoint or the filesystem you gave it was too small.
