I have run Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 11.10 and Lubuntu 12.04 (non-PAE) Minimal Installers off a CD and after selecting keyboard layout, connecting to a wireless network and choosing the GB Ubuntu server (and when that failed, the main Ubuntu server), I haven't been able to make any progress on the installation.
The system just comes up with the purple background after server selection with a grey, type-able band at the bottom. I think what is happening is that I don't get a partitioner...even though I tried formatting it as unallocated and Ext4 and they both didn't work...should I have to pre-partition it and what as?
How do I fix this and/or what package should I file this bug under in Launchpad?

Note: There is a similar question here but FossFreedom told me to make a new question :P
It is still installing when the purple screen is up. Just wait.
Thanks Tanel Mae, you could make this an answer yourself if you want the rep. I'm adding this as an accepted answer by me so that it doesn't come up on the 'Unanswered' questions list.
