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. >Your router light turning yellow could be an indication that it has been >reset and has entered an "auto-negotiation" mode where it determines what >speed to configure itself as, i.e., either 10 or 100. > >Try waiting until it turns green to proceed with the install, rather than >aborting and restarting.
