I will try the full again, I had a machine lock problem with it at Glibc 
package, but I think that was a disk read error, as I could copy thru MC 
w/o errors after some tries, then I tried the minimal w/o reformatting 
the HD to not loose time.

I just want it to stop, I will try google when I get bothered enough XD


Blabering :)
I was thinking... If I just copy the whole CD to the HD, will it work?
As grub has already made its step of setting up HD MBR.
I ask this cuz my CD burner is not working well, and as it is too slow, 
I would like to skip the packages copy step and let the system be setup 
normally by installer, then after (or before) I copy the whole 
/Programs/... and perform any SymlinkProgram to clean broken ones AFAIK.
I still need to find the point at installer script to make it skip 
packages copy, I just didnt have time :)

thx on the response :)
