I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop and I get to the screen saying "Who are you?" where its asking me to setup a name and password for an account but it will not allow me to click on the "Forward" button.

The status bar at the bottom says:

Ready when you are...
Mar 23 21:57:23 ubuntu uqiquity[2709]: Step_before = stepKeyboard Conf
Mar 23 21:57:23 ubuntu ubiquity[2709]: switch to page user setup
Mar 23 22:17:05 ubuntu CRON[8004]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report/etc/cron.hourly)

I am installing 10.10 after burning off the .iso I burned off form ubuntu's website.

Any thoughts as to how to get past this?

I actually found the answer in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1606294

...what's weird is I found that through searching Google and not the site search form...which didn't give me any results similar to this.
