Xubuntu won't install
Okay, so i have a laptop (IBM Thinkpad t42) that completely wiped using DBAN (Derik's boot and nuke) and it doesn't have any operating system on it. i downloaded xubuntu and burned the ISO image onto a cd using brasero. it will boot form the disc so i know it isn't a disc problem, but when i hit enter to "tru Xubuntu without any change to your computer" or "install Xubuntu" it simply stays at this screen and does nothing. i have absolutely ZERO experience with ubuntu but i am for the most part pretty tech saavy. any help would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forums!
Have you tried the Alternate Install CD?
It's the text version installer (not a liveCD) and it works for me every time whereas the liveCDs usually don't.oz
