I have a netbook (Asus 1005HA) that I bought from someone on here. When I got it Ubuntu was installed on it and I kinda wanted to keep it on there and also install XP. Well I ended up wiping the whole drive and installing XP but keeping the ext4 partition and another NTFS one for sharing files between(I rearranged the partitions yesterday evening). Ok now comes the problem/question.
I started to install Ubuntu 10.10 and things were going good. I had to figure out where to put the root directory (is there one place that better then others?) so that slowed me down a bit but I figured it out. Anyways the "files copying" bar was moving along at the bottom, I was filling in the blanks that came up. Then when it got to where it was asking what the PC name should be and what my username would be I filled out the blanks and waited for something to happen. The forward button was still grayed out and at the bottom of the screen it said "ready when you are" above the text box. There was also a "skip" button that was grayed out. I saw there was a text box at the bottom but I couldn't see much because the screen isn't very tall. I think that I could see the background under the bottom of the box (means I could see the whole box maybe?).
If anyone knows what I should do from there please help me. I want to learn and use Linux and don't want to start with a very bad experience. If you need any more info I will try to provide it if I can.
Thanks in advance!
