By crashes, do you mean you get that message, an unrecoverable error
thing?  I found that in 4.7, installing it caused no problems. However,
playing with 5.0 DR 2, during install I get two errors--one about a
README --I get that one in 4.7 as well, without it causing problems.
However, in 5.0 there's another error message, (I'm not being more
specific because this was more of a casual attempt on a sacrificial box
to see what would and wouldn't work) and I can't get it to run even as
root.

FWIW, on the successful installs, I more or less followed their Linux
install instructions--I'd download it somewhere, as root, untar it into
/tmp then as user simply do ./install.

Don't know if this helps at all, I'm afraid
