Comments/Problems:
Booted from the install disk. Selected linux26. Answered the usual
answers for language, etc.
When he gets to "Installing Base system" I switch to Ctrl+Alt+F3 and
watch the show. When he gets to "unpacking procps" the show ends and he
hangs, have to hit the red button.
This only happens on linux26 - default installs fine.
Tried it 2x. Is "worse" than #277177 because now he messes up the
partition he is installing on.
