When i reach the screen when the stage tarball is unpacked (i choose the stage from the LiveCD) the progress bar reachs the end and the letters "done" appear in the progress bar, however, the "cancel" button does not change into a "ok" button or a "continue" button, thus, freezing my install at that point. Does any one know what could be wrong?

thanks in advance
