Hi,

I took the bite and reformatted the root partition with the default 
parameters... since I have a separate home setup, data loss will be minimal.
Now I don't get out of space messages, but installation just hangs:

E.g.:
   Status: Running
     Command: progress -zf /targetroot/home/install/modules.tgz tar 
--chroot -xpf
  -

stalled -

I can leave this with for hours.

It is not frozen, I can hit enter and get a newline, ctrl-c, the command 
ends, menus get back and I can start again.
I repeat, modules.tgz will stall in the exact same place!

If I skip and pass on to base.tgz, which is surely "bigger". It 
downloads all and unpacks! Same for all other packages...

  You selected 17 distribution sets.  0 sets couldn't be found and 1 were
  skipped after an error occurred.  Of the 16 that were attempted, 16 
unpacked
  without errors and 0 with errors.

strange, isn't it? I'm on serial console, so I suppose if there were 
some error message I would see it?

After completing the install of everything, except modules... I tried to 
reinstall that single set.
