Comments/Problems:
I downloaded the .iso file directly into the CD burner program
(I am using roxio which came with the system).
I changed the boot order so the system would boot from the CD
drive.
I restarted the system. As expected, it booted from the CD.
The debian logo appears, with the option to get help or continue.
I pressed <Enter> to let the installation start. The following
happens:
- A few .gz files (two I believe) are uncompressed.
- I get about 2 screenfulls of messages which are obviously part
of the boot process. I would gladly send them to you, but I
don't know how to save them. As far as I can see, nothing
looks suspicious.
- The installation hangs. The last message I see is
io scheduler cfq registered (default)
I tried using the gui and expert installations and the same happens
(except that in the gui case't see the output to the terminal).
