Anyone else seeing this?
I 'roasted' my own based on an Enough! install - the snapshot went OK, but when installing from the iso (on virtualbox) and installing from a dvd burn to a laptop, it hangs on the "configuring bootloader, please be patient'' message.
Waiting a minute or so, and then force closing it, seems to work OK though - the install is fine as far as I can see.
Tried a few re-roasts with the same end result - any ideas?

Re: Enough! Roast Hanging at "configuring bootloader'
Hello,
do you mean this message in the live-installer? If yes, I can only tell you that it happens without regular pattern, and typically on drives that already contain a Windows installation. The installer, at this point, does a sudo update-grub three times to make sure that the bootloader is installed correctly. In a virtual machine you can try to prevent this by using a 'fixed size hard drive' opposed to a dynamically growing one, though this again is no guarantee.
I'm in the process of rewriting the installer from scratch. There are actually three installers ATM we could use:
- CLI-driven bbqinstaller
- debian-live-installer (lacking some options, that's why it is not included anymore)
- live-installer (does the job but has a few glitches that I was not able to iron out)
and of course the forthcoming one.
If you are interested, I can provide you with the debian-live-installer and you can add it to your spin (if you want to distribute it) -- as of now, the live-installer is the one that does the job best. Unfortunately.
