It tried to configure packages, would fail in the same place, and restart gdm over and over! I found some entries in /etc/inittab that I removed and set to spawn normal logins for ttys 1 and 4. Once I configured my network, I was able to get my system up by fixing the Debian packages. All in all, I like Ubuntu, the latest version supports my SATA card better than other distros, but the install could have been smoother for an OS that is supposed to be more user-friendly...
