The installer runs perfectly until it reaches "Installing The Debian Base System" at which point it freezes. Usually it locks up while "retrieving" a file (e.g. addusr, bash, base-config, debconf) but will occasionally lock up during a "validating" operation as well. There doesn't seem to be a specific file that causes problems because it stops at a different point each time I run the program. (Usually it stops at around 10% completion of the base install.) Unfortunately I have not been able to get past this point in the installer nor have I found a key combination that will make the software respond after it locks up. It would be nice if there were an option in the program to re-try or cancel the operation at hand so that one would not be forced to do a hard reboot in the event the program freezes. Other than that that I found the program easy to navigate and quite responsive. -Jonathon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
