  just sits there.. slideshow doesn't change anymore; complete-% bar is
  maybe 85% complete.
  
  using `top` nothing appears running.. I do see (journalctl)
  "log-output -t ubiquity umount /target/cdrom/"
  which would confirm possibly it's late in install, followed by
  "ubuntu-mate finihsh-install[4884]: Disabling CDROM entries in sources.list"

  It sat there (no change in installer/gui) for an hour before filing this
  bug in text terminal
  
  Expectation:  It would have completed, or given useful error message
  telling me what was wrong.
  
  
- Note: I hoped it would install to SDA only; I've tried to disable SDB & SDC 
in bios, it looked like it has attempted install on SDC (which is a good drive 
I believe; SDA only was tested via badblocks for this install 18.04.4 install 
tests)
+ Note: I hoped it would install to SDA only; I've tried to disable SDB & SDC 
in bios (suspect it doesn't allow it).  I Sysrq-REISUB'd box, booted to live 
(um-18.04.4) & explored; it all looked okay. So rebooted again. Grub offered me 
loads of options, and top was a 18.04 (5.3 kernel) so I chose that.  My new 
Ubuntu-MATE 18.04.4 install was there & perfectly valid it appears.

+ off as I suspect a lot of users would have done after long wait?
