Alexander,
  The other replies you've gotten are all very good. The only thing I'd
add is that if you can't find out what you need by switching virtual 
terminals (with <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1>, etc.) try to do just a text install. 
Come back here with whatever errors you're getting, and someone should 
be able to help.
  Also, once you've used <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F1> to get out of X, you can drop 
the <CTRL> key and just use <ALT>+<F1> to <ALT>+<F6> to switch consoles.

<F2> = shell
<F3> = what's going on
<F4> = errors should show up here, although no everything here is an error
<F7> = this takes you back to GUI

Good Luck!
