Downloaded the 11.1 DVD iso, checked the md5sum - all ok.

Boot the new Dell Vostro 1720 from the dvd - start installation

On the System Probing page, it races through everything but the final "Initialize Package Manager" and just gets stuck there with the "spinning" cursor.

Could this happen if the network connection is not working?

Suggestions?

Does this happen before or after the RPM selection? Did you run the "Check Media" prior to installation?

Before. Yes, I ran a check media, and it came up fine. *sigh* For giggles, I tried it all over again, and now I'm in... Please cross your fingers for me (or whatever is culturally appropriate to wish luck). Partitions formatting now... Thanks.
