Not a problem, I know how that goes :) Text based installer. After I've started the install, not a boot into it. It's the screen where it's got the progress bar, and tells you Mbytes installed and Mbytes remaining. Is there anyway to get more verbose output from it?

We might have suggestions, but this isn't a lot of detail to go on. Are you running the graphical installer or the text installer? I take it this occurs after you've actually started the install, not during the boot into the installer. If you're running the graphical, you might try the text, as your system configuration is down towards the low end of the memory range. Dave Dave
