Just wished to update.

Installing with the postgresql option ticked froze at 79% [postgres.bki]
Installing with the 'Easy' option: the install froze at the same point 47% [postgres.bki]

This is with existing postgresql service stopped.

2nd update 28/10
Somehow I managed to get it to work. But I have some errors relating to solr that I haven't investigated yet.

A couple of things.
I installed from the 'advanced' option without opting for pgsql, java, etc. This froze at 100%. I had pgsql running with the alfresco db available during the install.

I changed [alfresco_home]/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh to the following:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26
JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx512m"
export JAVA_HOME
export JRE_HOME
export JAVA_OPTS

Ubuntu 11.10 comes with openJDK. Alfresco doesn't play with openJDK and so I installed the jdk.

That's it for now. Going to focus next on the solr errors in the log.
