I can confirm this problem for the standard Ubuntu alternate install disk as well.

The problem is that that installer pauses at 85% throught to download packages. Since my network connection to my router was active (but not to the outside internet) the installer did not know that it cannot find sources packages.

My solution was to physically remove the network cables so that the machine had no network connection whatsoever and setup the network after the installation had completed.

It would be nice to have a message to the user which told them what is going on during the install.
