Debian installers.

[Jude DaShiell]

Another reason I do this is when debconf priority is set to low, that'll 
be number 4 I get asked if I want to have non-free packages available 
and I do since that makes for a richer debian environment when it comes 
time to search for and install packages.  Without moving the debconf 
priority to low, you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list post-install to 
get the non-free packages searched for later.

After choosing language, why not hit the < key until you get onto the main menu and select save log files and save them to a mounted file system installer will offer /mnt on the hard drive.  Then change the debconf priority to low and once that's been done go back to installing with the next default step on the main menu. This way, the log file will have lots more information in it as to what failed and why.
