Re: package installation halts
Sorry Folks,
I do apologise. It's the "Configure Locale" it halts at. Nothing to do with "locate" at all (if it exists). Sorry for the typo.
Yours
Dave

It's a dual boot machine with all the linux partitions inside an extended partition (except SWAP which is on it's own little partition). I've given /var plenty of space (about 4Gb), and so the installation has a fair bit of space to play with.

When running Task Installer the list of packages is created, a couple of the packages get configured (I've tried different sets of packages to see if that makes a difference). Every time I do this the process halts at the "Configure Locale" screen. The only way to move on seems to be to type <ctrl> C. This system tries to restart the install/configure of packages, but only moves on to configure the mail server, and then finishes.
