It's a netgear router. The thing is, it does go way over 2 min. Here's
what it does. When I am initially booting off the disk and it checks the
hardware for the first time it turns it yellow. Then, when I first try to
connect to an ftp it turns it green but it never connects. When I hit ctrl
c and then choose restart installation, it takes me back for a new
installation and the light remains green.
When I set everything up again, it says my filesystem was written correctly,
it connects to the ftp, it starts a download, then it tells me the
filesystem is full.
