I have experienced the same problem these users report. They diagnose the problem properly, but are not very explicit.
The problem is that the installer (by default) attempts to download updates/packages. For many users (including myself), an internet connection is not available at the time of installation. The installer will sit at the 85% mark (I believe) and not progress past that. Maybe implementing a timeout or just a warning message about what's going on. In the graphical installer, I did receive feedback as to what was happening and was able to click the "Skip" button. It should, however, be much more explicit. @tekg - try to be a little more kind when asking for some help.. -- [Feisty] Kubuntu / Ubuntu / Xubuntu alternate installer freezes at 85% https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
