After this completes, it hangs indefinately on a purple screen with a grayish-white bar at the bottom. I believe it is hanging right before the point where it detects your network cards. Others say, that if you wait 15 minutes, the installation will continue installation. I had to wait 18 minutes before installation continued. What is going on here? I will try to post hardware specs later.
