IIRC, you said your machine has 4Gb of ram. The only remaining thing is your

starts until after you've partitioned your hard drive.


Yes, John brings up a good point here. I unchecked the box to download updates while installing and it seemed to make a difference. When I did it the first time, I left the box checked and it just sat there, apparently not doing anything.

Also, if you've gone through the partition manager and everything should be working but it won't actually let you install, you have something set wrong in your partitions. Double check everything. You'll know the partitions are good because pressing Tab should eventually get you to an "Install now" button. In my case, I couldn't get it to install because I didn't format the new partition first. Once I confirmed everything, it worked fine. Use the Orca flat review to see what's going on. When it loads the slideshow, you won't get feedback from Orca. Just be patient once you select "Install now" after confirming your partitions and pressing that button.
