Public bug reported:
Tried to install ubuntu with the alternate cd on an old computer (hardy
heron).
The cd-rom does not function very well because it even had problems
burning the iso on a cd. I had to burn it low-speed instead of automatic
speed so this is why I suspect the cd-rom.
What happened:
The installation was flawless until the "Select and install software" phase was
hung at 6%. After about 30 minutes it showed a red error message. I tried the
same phase again and it passed 6% only to get hung again but this time on 85%
for about 30 minutes. As I write this report I try the same phase again and
will report if it passed 85% and installed eventually.
What I would like to happen:
Instead of showing an error message, and then restart the whole 'Select and
install software' phase, it should have retried installing the same package
again at lower cd-reading speed or after letting the cd-rom cool up a few
seconds. It would have saved me a few hours of my life :)
The computer is something like CPU: 500MHz and MEM: 256MB
