It could be that you selected too many packages and you are running out of space. I had a similar problem with my old laptop.

RE: [expert] NEC Laptop Problems
come to think of it, it was towards the end of the install, and i was prompt a few times because it couldn't install some features. I'll give it another go tommorrow and see what happens cheers -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andre LABBE Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2001 8:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re:[expert] NEC Laptop Problems Hi You don't say which type and model. The time to install varies a lot according the speed of the laptop. I have an Umax Actionbook 340T (Time laptop and some other are the same) and LM 72 works fine with it, I use the kernel 2.4.2, every thing is supported. But I recall that the install took a couple of hour to install and I didn't have all the options selected. Another problem that I have found with the 2 CD Distribution is the install always moans that some files cannot be installed ( at least with my CDs), luckily enough they are not system files. But the real problem is if you miss the box to click continue the box vanishes or goes 'under' the install progress bar and you're stack because you cannot continue the install, and that always happen near the end of the install.
