I'm assuming it's an old machine with not much RAM. If memory serves, I saw a thread over at the Ubuntu forums [1] and some guy who had 4GB RAM said it had taken about 25 minutes or so for configuring language-pack-en base stage to complete. So, it is a bit slow. there are plenty of such threads and a google search reveals that a bug has been filed as well. And the problem is not limited to Ubuntu, because one of the results google threw at me was of a guy having the same problem with Xubuntu. So, if you can be patient and you're very keen on Ubuntu, just let it take however long it takes :) Cheers! Coauthor of Beginning Fedora: From Novice to Professional published by Apress.
