Lars,

Saw symptom you describe in unofficial LMDE KDE port once on AMD64 and it
was slideshow problem. Workaround there was:
sudo mv /usr/share/live-installer/slideshow/index.html
/usr/share/live-installer/slideshow/index.html.bak
and then start the live installer

Might be worth noting that many PPC users are having to boot with video=
parameters that force non-accelerated graphic driver.
I would expect KDE to be very slow in this case unless it is a G5 dual or
better. YMMV

If no installer logs in /var/log, I have no other ideas. :)

Regards,
Str8

I guess there's 1 GB (1024700 kB).  The full specs are here:

I've not had a problem like that with the Lubuntu installer, but that is
clearly different.  Even though the Kubuntu installer quits quietly, there
might be a place were the errors are reported to a log.  Any ideas?
