sorry, it is dreadful to install at the moment, there are about 7 dots
at the bottom of the ubiquity installer, each one isn't really a dot, it
is a progress bar with zero length, this means that every page of the
installer will read out loads of progress bar statuses

You can fight your way through this, but it is hard. Hopefully 14.04
will be installable as an LTS.
