[Bug 743359] Re: Installer: LockFailedException: Failed to lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

[yooozy]

a file couldn't be retrieved from cd:
retrieving file 12/52 (3min 52sec..)  I was forced to click skip then installation crashed when removing packages

other info:
installing desktop, 11.10 beta 1 on an old machine 
box checked "Download updates" only <<probably this is the problem as Mikko suggested I'll try reinstalling
