I haven't gotten assistance yet for this problem, and by the insistence
of a few, I will try to be overly detailed in my situation.
I have an E-machine C2881 on which I'm trying to put Ubuntu 7.1. This
machine is [I believe] a Pentium III and 512 meg ram. ALso, it has a
10Gb HD.
I insert the Ubuntu disk and restart the machine. It comes to the main
screen with the "Examples" and "Install" on the desktop. I clicked
"Install" and went through all the hoops and such.
Then it begins "Installing system" and it gets to the "Configuring apt"
at 82% and stops. The "Installing System" window says "Configuring apt"
in bold letters above the orange progress bar, and in italics below the
bar, it says "Scanning the mirror..."
It's just sitting there (about 30 minutes) on this window, and doesn't
seem to be going anywhere, though the hard drive is buzzing and
vibrating. It didn't take this long on the other computer.
I trust that this is detailed enough. <grin>
