Hey,
  If you are just trying to install then you may have better luck
trying the alternate cd, it is a checkbox option on the
download page[1]. It seems to be able to make better progress
when the livecd cannot.

p.s.
  Ubuntu has a date based versioning system. The releases are
approx every 6 months and the recent versions are 7.04 & 7.10
these were released in april and october 2007. The next release is
expected this month and if on time will be versioned 8.04
