Hello,

I am trying to install Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r4 on a Core 2 Duo machine.
I am using the AMD64 version. But the install is proceeding v-e-r-y
s-l-o-w-l-y. It's already been two hours and I'm still at the
partitoner. Can anyone please tell me what could be the matter?

I had installed 4.0r3 on my laptop before this, the install was fine.

Perhaps you can try the etchnhalf netinstall.

I have successfully installed i386 version of 4.0r4. Though I would
still like to know why the amd64 one didn't work. And /proc/cpuinfo
shows only one processor. I suppose that is normal for a 32-bit OS?

Thanks to all who replied.

Nishita
