When I boot the netinst-cd and use the `expert`-argument to do a fully customised installation, the installation fails at tasksel. I deselect `Desktop System` so only `Standard` is selected and then continue installation. The installation then downloads 81 packages. After the 81 packages the installer hangs. When I boot and don't give the expert-argument, the installer works fine. Partitioning, user setup, networking, modules and other stuff is all the same at both installations, but the expert-installation keeps failing.
