Generally if there is a problem during executing the install script, re-invoke the install command. I have seen this problem once where the install script could not install a ruby gem (probably because the repository was not available or accessible). retrying the install after 15 minutes or so resolved this.
= 12.04 Notes =
Below are some notes for 12.04. These are recordings of things to do, work in progress and not a fully fledged recipe! Do not use this yet unless you are very adventurous.
Steps (preferred)
* download server iso (tested: 32 bit)
* boot into iso (from CD or whatever)
* select language
* select install server
* select language again
* select location
* configure system (kbd etc)
* do not encrypt home dir; encrypted home dir is not tested by me and will probably slow things down
* the amount of disk space depends on what you want to do. A basic system can run in 8 GB but if you want to have much apps or much content you definitely want a lot more.
* opt for install security updates automatically (you probably want to keep things secure; most people tend not to spent too much time on maintenance activities)
* for "Software to install" only select "OpenSSH server"
* after install "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade"
Or (less preferred and tested)
* download destop iso
* start installer
* choose install
* check download updates
* fill in forms (I did opt for setting a password, saw issues with autologin in older versions of ubuntu)
* use update manager to update installed packages
