Process stops at 11%? If so it's because the apt-cdrom part of the debian installer is borked and it's sitting there waiting for you to add another CD-ROM, but there's no way you can send Enter to it. A work-around is to:- ;Open a terminal ;ps | grep apt-cdrom ;note the PID of "apt-cdrom ident" ;kill -KILL $PID ;return to the installation screen and hit "Continue". Thanks to Slavko for pointing to the solution Now all I have to do is find a way to workaround the borked choose-mirror section, which fails regardless of which mirror is selected with "mirror does not support the specified release (jessie)" (though the mirror does support it). Then maybe I can fix the next bork "unable to locate package (popularity-contest, grub-common, etc, etc)" - which stops the installer from being able to install GRUB, or lilo.
