I formated drive started to install 2.2 from ISO 32 bit seem be going OK till making user.
On floating box Creating User blue bar gone seven blocks across and stored moving. Been sitting there for about 30mins.
The mouse pointer round is still spinning.
What should I do
Start again reboot box?
Thanks.
To add ISO is loaded on usb not dvd I used to unpack ISO UNetbootin.
Note to self list to get fixed 1 by 1
Read how to make LL secure.
See what else Linux Lite can do.
I think X kill is cool

Don't tick any extra stuff like third party codecs or updates, lvm or encryption, just do partitioning, language, name and password - the bare minimum or just the compulsory options.

I got this every time on a faulty DVD only. I used DVD-RW for testing many distros, and it got corrupted after all the erasing and burning. If what others said won't help. Try new DVD, if you use USB stick, it could be faulty too. Try to do MD5 check on the image also.
I had a problem with UnetBootin, I always used Rufus, worked always for me. If you are creating the bootable USB on Windows.

The easiest way to check the md5sum for the iso is to navigate into the directory where it was downloaded and right click on a blank spot in the thunar window and click "open terminal here" in the terminal type: "md5sum" followed by a space and then the name of the iso file and hit enter. When it finishes it will display a string of numbers and letters. Check this string against the md5 checksum available on the page you downloaded the iso from. If every thing matches the download is ok, if not you should download the iso again.
