Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue, the netinstall script works perfectly for making the sd card. Everything does as it is supposed to up until the proxy menu. I continue from proxy settings without changing parameters (as I'm not behind a proxy), the "Downloading achieve files.." appears for less than a second and then the screen turns black. To make sure it was not the connection I verified the network setup through the shell in the installer menu (I can ping ports.ubuntu.com). I left it first for an hour, when that didn't work I left it overnight and nothing has changed. Then I changed the sd card to another one and tried with 13.10 saucy instead, that worked all the way through.
Assuming the new sd card is okay, I wiped the card and retried with 12.04, unfortunately I get the same issue as before. Do you have any recommendation for how to proceed?
