Ahh, square one. We meet again.
As predicted by the thread I made earlier today, I'm back with more Ubuntu install woes.
I am currently trying to install 10.10 off a LiveUSB. It's been "installing" for about three hours or so. I see a lot of "RF change in progress" and something about handshakes.
On another thread where the poster had similar problems, he was told to type
Code:
sudo fdisk -lu
into the terminal. I did the same thing, but was completely puzzled by the results.
Now, I would like to copy past the results here, but I cant, because the connection speed on the install computer is 19.2 mbps. Firefox wont load jack.
SO. Hand typed, with love.

Please help me before I put my fist through the monitor or do something rash like buy another copy of windows.
