i was trying to install ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS on my dell latitude c800 and the install is hanging at "checking for packages to remove..." and i was wondering what steps followed this, and if any of the steps that follow this one are critical to the laptop functioning...

so, is it safe to restart my laptop when the install is only at 96% ?

EDIT: its been stuck here for over 1hr...
