Hello Pixel,
Sorry to be so late with this :( Anyway, I've played with the setup several
times and found that if I choose to check for 'bad blocks' then the setup
will go through from there. It seems to be that choosing not to check for
bad blocks is what causes the problem. The error that I saw on the screen
was "An error occured swap area needs to be" and that's it. I've attached
the report.bug like you asked and now I'm going to try to do a normal
install. :)
thanks, Mike
