I wish I could say that I am making my introduction as my first post but necessity demanded tech support first. I have to say the quick and helpful response I recieved from the members of this forum was far better than I could ever expect. I had previously used ubuntu and its various distro flavors particularly Mint. I came here because I love command line and the simple customizable interface is awesome. I also love the simplicity of the packages in this distro, I am working on learning the Linux From Scratch site and this distro seemed like just the thing to do that.

Okay, I have it installed. The creating of the usb stick on another machine seemed to do the trick. I don't know for sure but I think that doing DD in a live version of #! was the problem. So problem solved.

No, I have it set to English. And after zeroing sda, creating a partition table, remaking the partitions that I had, it is still stalling at the same messages as posted in my original post, under both the ctrl-alt-f4 and ctrl-alt-f5 screens.

I previously had done several repartitions, I zeroed several partitions, and I zeroed the entire drive. I am currently zeroing the drive again, repartitioning and reinstalling. Given that I have done those things before is there any other advice that you could give?

This is happening during the install. It reaches the point of saying "Configure the package manager", then just stops, its when I hit "ctrl+alt+f4" that I see all the text for the install, at the bottom of the wall is what I posted. And I as I said before, there isn't anyway to interact with it, it is completely non-reactive. As an update to things I have tried, making sure that the bootable flag is switched off on the root drive.

Thank you, I am glad to be posting here.
As to your reply, I tried that but it just went to a new blank line. Basically nothing happened.

I have been trying to install Crunchbang 11 on my system 76 panp9 laptop for the last few days.
I have tried installing from a USB stick made with both unetbootin and dd, both to the same effect. I have zeroed both stick and hard-drive I am installing to. The drive is very simply partitioned: sda1 is /, sd2 is /home and sda3 is swap. All partitions are primary.
Now the error is listed below and I accessed it from the ctrl-alt-f4 command. The graphical screen just has the Configuring Package Manager.
Configuration file `/etc/grub.d/00_header'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : Install that package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed versions
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** 00_header (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
