If your installations are taking a long time and/or failing, try unplugging your peripherals. The first time I tried to install, I let it run for over an hour, most of the time the install was just hanging. I restarted the install, this time making sure every peripheral was unplugged, and set up took maybe a half hour.

You talkining about everything like soundcard/tv card/printer/webcam?

Printer, web cam, yes. I didn't try internal devices like sound cards because I'm on a laptop. Once I disconnected any USB devices (the only expansion ports this laptop has besides firewire), install worked fine.
