I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to install it on my boyfriend's laptop. But it's been more than two hours since I've started the installation and now I'm stuck on "Configuration du système de destination" (don't know what it is in english... I'm installing the french version). What can I do? Should I reboot the computer? | |||

When I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop, it took a long time too because I had selected to download and install updates during initial install. For what it's worth, my install was 3+ hours long and I have a fairly quick cablemodem connection.
No, just let it sit for a while and it should come back. If you're interested, you can use the CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a text console and tail the install log to see if it is stuck at some step. If it does get powered off, you should be able to re-start the installation and it should be fine. If you do restart, don't select the updates option - it should go much faster since it will only use the DVD install media files. | |||

My Acer Aspire took 6 hours the first time (both my desktop and netbook) but my HP laptop only took an hour. I've found (my opinion) that the fastest and most stable way to install 11.10 is to install without an Internet connection and then run the update manager afterwards. So far this has been the only way to get a stable installation on my particular system. | |||
