Comments/Problems:
The installer hangs at "guided partitioning, computing the new
partitions" (80% of the partitioning process). I am using the guided lvm
(unencrypted) to install all the system in one partition and use the
entire disk, over an existing debian wheezy installation. The problem
doesn't happen if I do the same process but on an unpartitionned HDD.
The last line of the console (F4) shows "WARNING swap signature detected
on /dev/computername-vg/swap_1. Wipe it? [y/n]
Everything else looks OK.
Thank you,
Olivier
