To any system admin;-
I posted too quickly so being unable to alter the title of the post to something less generaI I've re-posted the the following contents under a more specific title. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1492070
Please delete this one. I apologise for any inconvenience.
have a duel boot machine with helena mint on one drive and Ubuntu 9.04 on the other. Having waited for a while I'd like to remove mint and replace it with Ubuntu 10.04lts. So after selecting "use the whole drive" I started the auto installer and all went well until I needed to press forward after the name/password screen. The icon for forward remained greyed out which prevented progress. The image was good and is on a write once only cd. The only problem I had with it was the workspace switcher crashing when I opened it's preferences and problems logging into launchpad when trying to report it so I haven't. After adding it to the panel again a couple of times it stuck and I was able to increase the number of workspaces. Otherwise all seems to be fine and I'm posting from the same live session now.
The main question is how do I proceed with the install ?
This is my sysinfo report, so synaptic works as I was able to install it to ram :) Oddly I couldn't attach it so have copied and pasted it instead

The main question is how do I proceed with the install ? Also if, looking at my hardware specifications, you can see any other problems I may encounter I'd be grateful if you could point me at the solutions or if it is a no go then let me know.
