Same for me. Running `ps` in the second VT didn't show up any
processes spawned by dinstall. At least none that looked like they
could be part of the problem.
The server was Imperial College's (London) sunsite mirror at
193.63.255.4:/public /Mirrors/ftp.debian.org (open to everyone).
A bit more info...
The still flashing cursor was placed about 3/4 of the way down the
screen, about ten characters from the left. The headers and footers
were displayed on the screen aswell.
These are the 19980220 discs.
Can I make a suggestion regarding the NFS method? It would be clearer
to ask for the server name and exported name, and then the path to the
mirror.
Looking good, though! My RedHat using friend was very impressed with
dselect :) :)
Kenny.
