Trouble installing Ubuntu 7.04 on desktop


I searched the forums but didn't come up with anything that would help, so sorry if this has already been covered. I'm a complete Linux newbie.

When I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 Alternate, the install freezes at 85%, saying "Installed brltty-x11" It never errors out or gives me any indication of what its flipping problem is, other than it hates me.

I am installing the alternate because according to Maximum PC, the live CD will not work with computers loaded with Geforce 8800 family graphics cards, which I have. I can attest that the live CD would not boot on my PC.

I also confirmed that my hash was good on the download.

Any help would be REALLY REALLY appreciated, nay, worshipped...I really wanna try Linux but I can't believe the problems I'm having...

I have:

Intel mobo
Core 2 Duo 6600 proc
2 gigs RAM
GeForce 8800 GTS w/ 640 RAM
Logitec G15 keyboard
Logitec Mx518 mouse

i had an issue like this on my old laptop, all i did was if a reboot and try to install again did not work, i just used the text console install option.

I had to re-install the laptop last night and the graphical install went through fine - strange

im not using the alternate install disc tho

If it got that far before having a problem I would suspect either a bad ISO download or a bad burn. Try burning the image at a low speed.
