I just did two more installs for you into a VMWare machine.

Second one - no options - all defaults - took about 10 minutes.

First one died. I selected a couple simple options like grub and timezone,
came back to a message that installer had exited. Sorry, no other info
on screen and I was not sitting watching it.

The painfully slow installs were via PXEboot; I will try that again
later today perhaps. Not sure if VMware will PXEboot and my spare server 
is not hooked up at the moment.

Hopefully Trustix ISO images will be kept relatively up to date and
hopefully there will never be ISO images with more than minor security
issues on them.

Many people don't have fast Internet connections. While installing
the machine is down and unusable. Once it is up and running you can
do 'swup --upgrade' as a background task while you use the machine
for other things.
