Now that installation had failed, I decided to remove all contents of /mnt/tmp to start from 0. lsblk recognized: sda as the usb installer sdb1 as a previous failed installation with label my-root sdc1 as the current installation with label my-root When I restarted to begin installation from fresh, I noticed that /mnt/etc/bare-bones.scm was changed from sda to sdc. I remember having changed it. But I started doubting. Then I checked the mount and noticed that /mnt was in sdb1 instead of in sdc1. So I umounted and mounted with -L again. But it would mount sdb1 again. So I umounted and mounted with /dev/sdc1 and no -L. That worked. I think the problems I have had with the installation might be related to that. I hope it does not take so many hours to install in this Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80GHz with 3GB RAM so I can report if there is no problem or if the problem is still happenning. -- Example of the problems in top posting: A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
