With the help of another message in the archive I figured out that the installation was just waiting for the user to complete it. The cursor in the upper right left corner was in the normal console, so I hit Control+Alt+F2 and it showed another terminal (i did not know this before) so it appeared as in root mode, then i exit and continued the installation in the regular terminal (console). Now, it is generating the keys, which i hope do not last too long. It's odd too, my SS2 does not seem to have a 2.5GB HD...because i could not make a default installation, i had to do a minimal, expecting to install the X11 only in order to use the fvwm or other windows manager low in memory.
