Perhaps someone can help me, I created a bootable USB drive of Lubuntu 10.04, it works fine just running off the USB, however when I come to install it, I can't get past the part after you select your keyboard layout. :\ It freezes right before the hard disk partition part. It just hangs there to be more specific, I can still close out of the installation and everything runs fine still but it won't get past this part. Initially I thought it was the hard drive I was using because it is a tad old (3/4 years old) and has been through a couple of OS's I believe. But I also tried it on my brother's computer just to see if it'll get past this screen, his HD is less than a year old and it was doing the same thing. Pretty convinced something's buggy about Lubuntu 10.04's installation.
However to add ontop of all this I tried Ubuntu 10.04's installation on that hard drive and it did the same thing. Anyone have a clue about this? I'm not sure whether or not to believe it's the HD or the installation menu perhaps that's buggy? I might try an older release later I was just posing the question here to know if this was a familiar issue to the community or if it was just a problem on my end.
