I attempted to reinstall tonight. This time the installation completed without error. However, I noted that installation appeared to hang for many minutes at 82% Configuring apt. Scanning the mirror ....
During this "hang" there seemed to be no hard disk activity or CD activity (the lights were not on). After a while during this "hang" I noted that there appeared to be some internet activity -- The LAN-1 light on my modem was blinking rapidly for short periods of time. I can only presume that the installation program was accessing the internet. Perhaps an enhancement should be that the installation progress dialog should indicate this fact -- Some people may presume that the program has hung and attempt to abort the process. Another suggestion is that if the installation aborts, the installer has the option of clicking a button which will submit relevant failure details to a web site. This way all relevant information could be trapped, rather than relying on a possibly inexperienced installer sending all information you need.
