Topic: Very slow install

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from 9.04 on my asus eee, to crunchbang-10-alpha-02-openbox-i686. However the install is crawling along, 45 minutes and it was still detecting hardware (theres also an ~five minute lag between each stage)

The mdf5 sum is correct, I've tried my other external disc drive and re burnt the disc and I don't remember any problems installing 9.04 or kbuntu netbook.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

thanks, Steven

Re: Very slow install

Welcome to the forum!

Upgrading from 9.04 (Ubuntu base) to Statler (Debian base) is likely to be problematic under the best of circumstances. It's usually a much better idea to backup your personal data and any customized config files, do a clean install of Statler, then restore your data and configs. This is because, among other things, there are significant differences in individual packages between Ubuntu and Debian.
