[install-discuss] snv_46 install freezing

[Tim Cook]

Not a problem, I know how that goes :)  Text based installer.  After
I've started the install, not a boot into it.  It's the screen where
it's got the progress bar, and tells you Mbytes installed and Mbytes
remaining.  Is there anyway to get more verbose output from it?

I'm sorry we're not responding very quickly today - most all of the 
people who might be able to help are tied up with project work that's on

a tight schedule.

We might have suggestions, but this isn't a lot of detail to go on.  Are

you running the graphical installer or the text installer?  I take it 
this occurs after you've actually started the install, not during the 
boot into the installer.  If you're running the graphical, you might try

the text, as your system configuration is down towards the low end of 
the memory range.
