Hi,
sorry for the delay, but my company was moving and real life was invading
my privacy...
Anyway, I repeated the installation process and the installer says:
Installation step failed
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item
again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The
failing step is: Partition a hard drive
The log:
Mar 31 19:13:26 main-menu[198]: DEBUG: resolver (fat-modules): package doesn't
exist (ignored)
Mar 31 19:13:27 main-menu[198]: INFO: Menu item 'partitioner' selected
Mar 31 19:13:27 main-menu[198]: WARNING **: Unable to set title for fdisk-udeb.
Mar 31 19:13:28 main-menu[198]: (process:2882):
/var/lib/dpkg/info/partitioner.postinst:
Mar 31 19:13:28 main-menu[198]: (process:2882): line 1:
Mar 31 19:13:28 main-menu[198]: (process:2882): syntax error: unexpected "("
Mar 31 19:13:28 main-menu[198]: WARNING **: Configuring 'partitioner' failed

Mar 31 19:13:28 main-menu[198]: WARNING **: Menu item 'partitioner' failed.
Mar 31 19:15:47 main-menu[198]: INFO: Modifying debconf priority limit from
'high' to 'medium'
So, the offending file is /var/lib/dpkg/info/partitioner.postinst, which
looks like a binary, not like a shell script. After deleting this file,
installation went just fine, minus some debris on the screen,
HTH,
Uli
