    and thats it! nothing esle underneath and the timer thinhgy just wizzez around. I' ve tried it from scratch 5 times and it gets stuck at the same place each time.

    i am trying to use kubuntu version 6.06 lts for 64bit pc

    my pc is amd 64 athlon 3500. 1gbram 400hz 200gb sata2 3.0gbs 8 mb buffer
    it is brand new out of box and has no OS

    i also have tried a ubuntu 6.06 lts for pc disk and it hangs in exactly the same place.

    Hop into BIOS and check the settings on your drive...

    I found that sometimes if the drive is set to "Legacy mode" it can cause wierd install problems (like hanging).
    If it is set to legacy mode, sitch it to "Native mode" and see what you get.
