The installer IS NOT BROKEN. And someone did give you step by step
instructions, which you ignored. Also ask you for step by step information
on what you had done so that we could try to help. Which you ignored.
YOU couldn't use it correctly. That is for sure. BUT THE INSTALLER IS NOT
BROKEN.
Anyway, it is soon to be laid to rest. Perhaps you'll like the Jessie
installer better.
And I thought that you said that you worried about your language because of
the ladies present.
