kubuntu 7.10 beta desktop cd freeze at 87%

[®om]

The desktop-cd stops at 87% of installation (tested 3 times).

It "works" with alternate-cd, but... in that case I have this bug:

Confirmed. Same here (tried twice).

- Compaq Presario XL307 (Celeron 600, 384MB RAM)
- Fresh install from scratch, no other OS on machine
- Installing in French (Paris, French keyboard)

- Installation goes smoothly up to 87%, configures network, finds mirror, displays "downloading languages packs", some file seems to be actually downloaded, then the progress stops forever at 87% with ubiquity eating 100% CPU forever.

- No other solution but completely abort install.

This is a show stopper.

And it happened again on a completely different (and recent) machine in a different location with a different network connection. Exact same problem. I'm afraid I'm reverting to installing a 7.04 Kubuntu.
