Same here:  Gateway Solo 1450 (System is Celeron 1.2 GHz on intel
82830M) ; 768 MB mem.  Guided Install on approx 5.6 GB of free space,
following a (WinXP) NTFS, and FAT32  partitions.

Installer was flying along, even using drivers for wireless card w/
Atheros chip set, progress seems to have frozen:

Installing System Dialog, "Installing Language packs"  83%  "Downloading
package lists..."

Launching the System Monitor shows relatively low CPU usage @ ~6%, ~65%
free user memory; and Network History is constant, but excruciatingly
slow...chugging along  being measured in hundreds of bytes/second up to
a racing 1.5KB/s)

I would have quit the process were it not for seeing it make some
progress and reading this thread...after about 45 minutes it just jumped
up to like 92% and then started activity again....message @94%
"configuring hardware"  download rates aren't very high still, but must
just be doing little downloads and tasks so seems busy/good again.  Few
more minutes = SUCCESS.


So...sorry for rambling dialog, but it appears that just maybe a warning
of the added time and patience necessary may be in order....again, I'd
have not stuck it out were it not for having another machine to search
for comments on this behavior.
