Well there were a few issues.  For some reason when I install after it's 
completed and it's time to update the install the upgrade process hands at 
talking to security.ubuntu.com.  Not sure as to why this is so I thought I'd 
DL kubnutu and install that.  Well that one hangs at startup so I'm thinking 
the hardware might be too old.  :)
