- Is your fit-pc working good with a live USB stick ?

- Can you use the Ctrl-Alt-F1 shortcut keys to switch to the first console and see any message ?

- Can you wait a long while to be sure the installation really hangs ?
(Maybe the system is downloading and installing stuffs from Ubuntu repository on the internet and take a while for that ?)

- Can you use another iso image (ubuntu alternate, lubuntu, mint or whatever) ?
Maybe you created a bad image on your USB key (check the md5sum).

Otherwhise, can you explain more ... Can you give more clues ?

Hello

Can you please give some more details of the installation process? I.E. OS, install media, the hang up screen?

Thanks

I've tried to wait 2 hours and without any connection, so yes.

I've tried to install from an external USB DVD, an ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U, with 11.04 Desktop/Server iso and 11.10 Desktop/Server iso.

Hello

If you press an "esc" key while you see this screen, is it disappears? Can you post me the installation log prior it hangs up?

Thanks
