Sean,
I need to do a full installation to a compact flash card. I do not
want an embedded install due to the lack of flexibility - e.g. no
packages. I also presume the full 2 GB of my CF card would be left
largely unusable.
Therefore, I am booting the live ISO in VMWare, then installing to the
CF card.
Because it is stuck, there is no error, no log, the system is totally
responsive, just not moving past this command.

are you trying to use VMware to install straight to the CF card? if
so, thats now how you install to them.
