Aha! OK, then please disregard my comment. Because I thought the problem
was only with the graphical installer. It seems it is something deeper.

Do you get the overheating/CPU problem? I think that could be debugged,
but it would have to be done on the problem machine.

This is a good idea:

Though maybe, while the installer is being perfected, there should be
some tools for debugging available, rather than just busybox. Then
people with problems can more easily help debug them and get the
valuable info to the developers.

I installed from the netinstaller. So maybe on the full CD there is top
and other tools. Anyone know what programs are on about the full CD?
