Setting Network Clock freezes on installation

[Wantstolinux]

Hi everyone,

Before I plead help, I am a brand new ubuntu user, heard lots of good things about it so thought I would give it a go on my laptop.

However, I have tried installations of Ubuntu 10.04 (notebook version) and Xubuntu. Yet on both attempts to install the OS it has stalled at the "Setting up the clock" dialogue box, it just sits at 0% and remains frozen (mouse still moves etc but nothing happens).

I really want to give Ubuntu / Xubuntu a go and my forum trawling has brought nothing to light so far.

If you have an idea of what is going on, please post up and it will be much appreciated! :)

Cheers!
