I've installed previous Ubuntu and other linux distros in the past, so I have a fair idea what I'm doing.
I downloaded the official Ubuntu 10.10 ISO from Canononical, burned to CD and booted from that.
I chose to install, using an existing swap partition, and a freshly formatted (ext4) partition, with mount point "/" as root.
The installation runs fine up to where I enter my User, Computer and Login details.
The forward button to continue, remains greyed out, even tho the copying of files finishes and says down the bottom that I'm ready to go.
At this point, I can't exit, log out, or do a proper restart.
Only a forced reset of the computer gets me out of the installation.
No files get installed on the partition, but the MBR does get written to.
And obviously I get an error trying to boot to it.
I've tried this same procedure 3 times now, with exactly the same result each time.
Any ideas, people?
Thanks in advance :p
