Comment 31 for bug 99908

I have very similar problem as Yotam Medini.

Using LiveCD for installation, the creation of ext3 system stalls at 5% and the system freeze (no response to keyboard, mouse).

The system is a Celeron 2.0G with 1G DDR-PC2100 memory, I am trying to make a single boot (not dual-boot) system on a dedicated 40G hard drive. At first, I suspected the LiveCD is not good enough, but it is verified that is a good one.

It looks that using alternate CD will not help either (can somebody please confirm this?).

Then, what if I install Xubuntu 8.04.1? Will that change anything?

I am pretty new on Linux, so please be kind to me. ;)

(BTW, for my case, will installation of a 6.X Xubuntu help? On the other hand, if I somehow managed to install some lightweight Linux, such as puppy, then create ext3 system on that, can the installation of Ubuntu/Xubuntu bypass that fatal step I had? )

Thanks!
