ok, so I have re-installed ubuntu 6.06 server and am installing the GNOME desktop environment yet its now stuck on fonts it says the font then says:

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file  
Regenerating fonts cache … done

is it safe to shutdown or what, I dont want to loose all the GNOME stuff that it has done already only to get the same thing
