Chris, I do not need a backport. When I google "Ubuntu backport", it mentioned that "Backports offers a way to selectively provide newer versions of software for older Ubuntu releases".
What I mean is that when I downloaded raring-desktop-amd64.iso dated 2013January23 and installed on Hewlett Packard Elitebook HP8560w notebook, the installation hanged at the screen asking whether user want to Download updates while installing and whether user wants to Install third party software. On this HP8560w notebook, I plugged in a harddisk previously used for Fedora 18 testing. It might be due to the fact that the Ubuntu 13.04 installation software could not recognize the harddisk file systems of Fedora 18 and subsequently hanged. There was no harddisk read or write activity and no ethernet activity on my ADSL modem. Next. On this same HP8560w notebook, I inserted a DVD with ubuntu-12.04 -server-amd64.iso and installed Ubuntu 12.04. The objective is to have a Ubuntu file system on this HP8560w harddisk. I repeated the above steps and able to proceed to completion the whole installation process. I noticed the whole installation process takes only 20 minutes which is unusual. I had installed Ubuntu 10 and 11 on this HP8560w notebook and it is usually an hour long. Hope this is clear enough to explain my guess on what could gone wrong. Please let me know when is your next final release for ubuntu 13.04 for me to do another round of testing. Thanks alot and for your appropriate action.
