Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
When doing a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 from torrent downloaded iso to CD, the initial splash screen appears, then after a few minutes, the system hangs and display mild garbage on the screen. This also occurred with xubuntu, mythbuntu (64 & 32 bit)
Mythbuntu 10.04 64 & 32 bit test installs have both worked on this new system.
I expected the 10.10 would install more or less like the 10.04 installation.
WORKAROUND: Intalling 10.04 and upgrading to 10.10.

This looks more like a graphic problem rather than a problem with apt. Can you boot with the safe graphics setting from the installation CD?
