Ubuntu Karmic worked fine on my computer when it was first released but now doing a fresh install on my computer is totally impossible. The hardware is all the same.

If I attempt to install from Live mode - karmic freezes when it's configuring Apt and ubiquity-dm crashes when installing direct from boot.

I have switched to Mint but I would like to go back go to Ubuntu.

I had that similar experience some time ago but I realized when you reach 80% i.e. when configuring Apt, a skip button appears on the right. Select the skip button and it speeds up the installation. You can update later the apt files under the update manager.Doesn't answer your question but so far so good

I had this problem before you have to burn the CD at the lowest speed to make sure that every installation file is well copied .
That solved my problem :popcorn:

Thanks Badaveil and cap10Ibraim, I'll have another go tomorrow after I burn a new disc.
