Did you give enough time (maybe 30 minutes) for it to complete it's task. Sometimes it will hang for a while and then resume if you wait a while. How fast is your pc. If you have a slow processor, it may take a very long time. You can also search the bug database at <a href="http://launchpad.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">launchpad.net</a> to see if your particular problem is being worked on. </blockquote><div> Believe me, it is not just waiting. The Feisty installers just vanish; the Dapper installer closes with an error notice; the alternate reports an error as well. I think it is hardware compatibility.
