2012-08-23 Thread Riku Saikkonen
I ran into a variation of this bug while test-installing wheezy: I was installing on an external USB hard drive (because I didn't want to touch the installation on the internal drive when only testing), and the "erasing data" step took a very long time. I wasn't in a hurry and left it running overn
