Debian potato install problem
Hi I have been trying to install Debian 2.2r7. I get pretty far into the setup but when I get to anXious X windows system and have to choose the font size-75 and 100 dpi the install freezes and I cannot make the yes choice-there is no way to move either forward or back-I tried ctrl/alt/backspace but that didn't work-I have no keyboard response or mouse action at this point as well. I have to manually shut down-Iv'e done this 3 times with no progress past this freeze point. Suggestions?

Are you trying to configure X during installation?Try installing without X and configure it after installation.
