I also had this problem during install.  I got around it by disabling
the network while it was hung on "scanning mirror".  Seemed to be DNS
timeouts or something. Just had to re-enable repositories in synaptic
when I rebooted, then everything worked fine.

I've found that 7.10 uses up a lot more memory with the Gnome desktop up
than 7.04,  so much that I start swapping with Firefox, thunderbird,
rhythmbox and a few terminals and emacs windows :(
