Two crashes so far with dselect configure

[dkphoto <dkphoto@cyber-wire.com>]

I STILL have not gotten to the end of the installation process!!! Though 
I am further along than I have gotten before.
I chose one of the profiles from the dselect menu. Everything was 
installed. But I am unable to get all the way through the configure step 
of the process.

Twice now, the machine has completely frozen, forcing a hard restart, on 
this step:

install/tm : byte-compiling for emacs20


Oh, and another related question: Why does this thing install BOTH 
emacs19 AND emacs 20? Wouldn't one or the other be sufficient? Why two of 
them?
