I have the same problem here at my school! I can sudo aptitude update
or use apt-get at all since the tech guy blocks *.bz2 files!

At first I thought it was a problem with bzip2, then I thought it was
the 64bit Ethernet drivers, then I thought it was bad repositories.
Then I noticed all the failed gets were for *.bz2 files! So, I tried
to download those files manually and got the blocking page....

Not a problem, it was just a reference.* It should look something like:



**********
Start or install ubuntu

**********
Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode

**********
Install with driver update CD

**********
Check CD for defects

**********
Memory Test

**********
Boot from first hard disk





**
F1 Help* F2 Language* F3 Keymap* F4 VGA* F5 Accessibility F6 Other
Options



Just prettier. :-P



/If/ you can get to this point then hit:



*** F6 --> No ACPI



Then click the first option to install Ubuntu.



I don't have it front of me but am pretty sure it's "No ACPI".* This
will turn off the power option for boot and may allow your laptop to
boot.* When the OS installs then the power software will install more
specific to your machine to manage the battery.* This is the best I
understand it with out getting too technical and perhaps some else may
be able to elaborate.

Hello,
Are you sure you are using the ubuntu image meant for your hardware architecture (i.e i386/ AMD64) You might be trying an installation not meant for your architecture.

Any chance that this may be related to memory? Too little RAM? No
space on the hard drive?
