- 'ps' output from the period of hung install below.
- on a whim, I killed the last process (31402). Especially
since I knew the install was whacked anyhow.
- After the kill, the install proceeded perfectly...too bad I
hadn't actually chosen all the right things and partitioned correctly!
- Wonder at this point, whether it's better to kill the apt
preconfigure perl process, or to deselect standard???
- And what should be reported to bugs?
