Hi, I've finally decided to make the change to linux, and have chosen ubuntu.
Iburned the cd at a slow speed, and when I run the check tool when I boot from cd, everything reports fine, no errors.
However, either installing in the live desktop or by just selecting 'install ubuntu' from the startup menu I only get about halfway.
after the point in the install process where i pick my keyboard settings, i click next, and a little box pops up with a progress bar 'starting partitioner' this quickly disappears, and i'm left on the keyboard settings screen, with the 'working' cursor icon, and nothing else happens, it just stays that way indefinitely. I can still use firefox and browse the live desktop, but the installer progresses no further.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks.
