Your success was not a result of running the text-based Debian Installer. Forget about it. Try a bit of lateral, or even vertical, thinking. You may not realise it but substituting the USB stick you initially used for a USB hard disc is the crux of the matter. > During this debacle, as I stated many times, the GUI installer takes over the > entire screen.

"We can't help you if you > won't tell us what syslog says" is not instructions.

You succeeded (which is good) because you changed the install environment.
