First of all guys, im so newbie that you cant imagine and im not a native english speaker (Quite an introduction, eh)

I literally, just took my new laptop (a dell) from the box; i immediately put the ubuntu cd (7.10)and set the bios to launch from the cd. I already now how to install it, as i did in my previous laptop (The one im writing now)but this time i cant go with the process. After the first option i choose "start or install ubuntu" and this appears:

"starting deferred execution scheduler" [ok]
"starting periodic command crond [ok]
checking battery state [ok]
running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)[ok]

Aaaaand.... thats is. It get stuck there forever

What am i doing wrong?

7.10 is unlikely to have necessary drivers for a new laptop.

Try 8.10 (or perhaps 8.04).
