After tasksel stage (Xfce selected), and a veery loong time to retrieve

The snapshot mirror is very slow, yes.

files, Debian Installer says:  "Installation step failed An
installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again
from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step
is: Select and install software"

Probablyk the mirror just got a hickup during the download.

Yes, I'm retrying and retrying again, and it seems to progress on files
retrieved. Some useful alternative mirror?

No, it's the only available one.

Can I host a mirror to help community?

But you can just as well *not* install the desktop task during
debian-installer, and install it later.

I can't switch to different tty to analyze log files because I can't send
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F4] neither with Gtk VM interface nor a vncviewer.

You can use the text installer, so you get into a screen session, where
you can use control-A space etc.

Do you mean by running VM for curses interface inside a "screen" session?

No. I mean "use the text installer", i.e. select the text installer at
the boot screen. That will trigger the "screen" session.

Yes, that's the way I install Debian always.
But I don't know how to combine Ctrl+Alt there, while I'm using Gtk GUI for virtual machine.
Ctrl+Alt+F4 switches my real host tty.
