Install hangs.

The first Ubiquity screen (Welcome/choose language) is OK.

When I click on "Forward", the next screen (Where are you/choose
city/country/time zone) displays - but hangs as soon as I click on the
Selected City selection box. No mouse or keyboard - not even Caps Lock.

I gave it about 5 minutes before giving up (as I know it can be slow), but
there was no further activity on CD or HD.
