   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	- Within the terminal, the only effective method was to abort the 
	   installation.
	- Installing using synaptic package manager did not cause this issue

   * What was the outcome of this action?
	- If proceeding with the install, it renders the system unbootable

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	- bootchart and pybootchartgui installed to determine any boot process
	    bottlenecks.
