Downloaded ubuntu-13.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso (sha1sum cdb56f...), burned onto dvd,
booted on an i7 with 3 sata drives, intending to do a fresh install onto sda1.
Didn't get that far; I got past the "Try or install?" choice, and the installation language choice.
On the screen that checks whether you have 5.4 GB free space and an internet connection.
I clicked 'download updates during installation', then clicked the 'Weiter' (Continue) button.
Progress stopped. The 'Beenden' (Quit) button is still active.
syslog shows it failed to download two packages:

According to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+package/nvidia-310, only 310.44 is available.
Is beta2 too stale to install?

I seem to have worked around this by clicking 'Quit', which took me to the 'Try' desktop;
then clicking 'Install' again, and this time not clicking either of the
'download stuff during installation' options.
