I am installing Kubuntu 12.04 from a usb drive and it is downloading a lot of language packs. My internet speed is too slow and it would take another 45 minutes to install them. The cancel button doesn't seem to work. How can I stop downloading the language packs and complete my installation?

Sirs and Teachers please help little bit faster since , i don't know should i cancel the installation now , since i want to leave for my class :)) – orion Aug 12 '12 at 11:16
You should click the SKIP button not Cancel. Or disconnect from Internet before you begin the installation. – Peachy Aug 12 '12 at 13:04
@msPeachy - Hi , the skip or cancel button doesn't works while downloading Lang packs, so i asked how to do that.I am afraid that disconnecting may cancel my installation afterwards, thank you for commenting :) ....But isn't the cancel or skip button is expected to move forward without downloding it , is my download OS faulty or software is bugged, or mouse click is faulty somehow ... – orion Aug 13 '12 at 7:04
It should. It will not cancel the installation, if you disconnect before you even begin the installation, that's what I think. – Peachy Aug 13 '12 at 10:12

You can simply disconnect your wifi before you install, then once the install completes run update manager to download all updates etc.
