- "Hang" in this incident refers to a system which is completely
responsive (can switch to other vtty's and travel the system), but which
NEVER moves forward in the install process.
- "Never" in this incident refers to a time period of between 5
minutes (the least I've waited) to approximately 38 hours (the longest
I've let it sit).
- The last logged entry is in /var/log/syslog and is about
downloading the whois package from the mirror.
