I started the download of 10.10 and after about an hour the machine appeared to be locked up. The download did not appear to be complete and perhaps I should have waited longer for a possible resumption but I pulled the power cord and restarted. I get to the 97% point on the purple screen and maybe I should wait longer than 10 minutes for more progress but I reboot and restart and after 6 tries - no progress. I can get the grub page and have tried going back to previous installation. This computer is a simple one for surfing the net and watching Youtube only - it has an Asus board and Sempron 140 chip and 500 gig HD. My solution is to load 10.10 from a USB stick which I have ready but it is one year old. I should have waited at least a month before attempting 11.10.
