Why are you using 11.04? Its about to be out of support; Next few days.

I suggest you create a disk for Precise (12.04.1) or wait for Quantal (due out October 18) and try again.

I would you the "run from CD" feature you can it out before installing. Check everything works before you install.

There is more hardware supported in newer releases: for example the wifi card in my laptop just works under 12,04,1 but 11,04 I had to find and install drivers for it separately.

If you still have problems from the live CD you can ask here before you install.

Can you help with this problem?
