I get, can't install packages every time I try to install 2.3 community. Nothing else to report as it gives no info.
partitions then tries to install and after a little time it gives the error. click ok and says something about grub, not able to install or something and that's it.

Perhaps your download of Endian FW is corrupt. I would say download it again and re-burn the image at a slower speed and try it again.
Thanks,

I have installed 2.3 on VMware ESXi v4.0 and VMware Server 2.0 (running Ubuntu 9.04 server) with no problems. 

Have you verified the ISO against the Checksum? http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/efw/Development/EFW-2.3/EFW-COMMUNITY-2.3-200910270923.iso-md5sum.txt

Just a thought.

I think you are right, must be a corrupt download because the ISO refuses to burn on CD. I thought the problem was my old CDRW disc, but I checked that the ISO was about 11 MB short.

After installing 2.3 the first time it would hang at "GRUB loading stage2..." during boot up.  I re-installed without console access and it now boots fine
Is that the error you were getting?

I redownloaded the ISO and all works fine!
