So after a couple of attempts I get the install going and it gets as far as generating configuration files. It just hangs after reporting:
Generating configuration files (3).....Failed
No other apparent error messages. Is there a method that I am missing to see log files. (Alt+2, Alt+3 etc do not bring up other consoles as with some installs.)
1.811 installed with no apparent problems on this old Dell P100 with a 4GB drive and 140 or so MB RAM.
While I am commenting the choice of keyboard layouts is nice, even nicer if UK English were included.
