Desktop is not really "basic", it's about the most complex installation
you can get :-)
It still looks like a mirror problem to me. Trying again now may have
solved it.
Anyway, when the system stops responding, please try switching to VT4 (on
PCs this is alt-F4, for Macs probably option-F4 or similar) and check the
log there for any strange messages.
If you don't see anything there, try switching to VT2 and check the output
of 'dmesg' and the contents of /var/log/syslog using the editor nano
(anything related to the problem should be near the end).
If possible, send us the syslog (gzipped!).
You can also check what processes are running using the 'ps' command. The
last 6 or so should include the ones causing the problem.
Cheers,
FJP
