Sounds like you are the perfect person to playing with development
releases :)

Please check the Beta 1 release notes. Are the issues you are running
into described here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1

If not, please grab beta 1, once it's released later today, and see if
it still has the same issues.

> Like Quantal..no cursor on install.

No mouse cursor? What kind of mouse do you have? Do you have another USB
mouse you can try?

Testing without an internet connection is something that's done for
every release. Here's one of the test cases that is supposed to be run
with no network connection:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1312/info

I can't see any related looking bug:

The best way to get people take notice is to join the Ubuntu ISO testing
team. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO
Then whenever you test an Ubuntu image, you can submit your test
results, and the relevant teams will see them.

You can also just report issues like this in #ubuntu-testing on
irc.freenode.net

> Appreciate your efforts, so keep going please.

And keep up your testing, please :)
