Hi, I am trying to install fedora 10 kickstart on my server. But I can't, because my kickstart installation hangs at post install scripts. It is not showing any message & stopped. What could be the problem in this case. Please help me.

Is there a guide that would show me how to get a minimal Ubuntu install setup.
