In the install pae script I do
debianBase(){
  #assume Debian
  if [ "$RELEASE" == "8" ]
  then
    logECHO "Debian Jessie 8"
    #Jessie
    KERNEL=(linux-base linux-image-686-pae linux-headers-686-pae)
  else
        logECHO "Debian Release=$RELEASE"
    ## not sure what else to do yet... placeholder for the stuff
    KERNEL=(linux-base linux-image-686-pae linux-headers-686-pae)
  fi
  echo "30 #pae" >> "$TAILFILE"
}
The $TAILFILE lines did not end up showing progress in the right way, so
I have discontinued progress indication until I have more time to fix
it...  a 'nice' feature but not critical

As far as I know this has worked fine for me.
I have tested it a few times, and from what I remember it worked.

great!

maybe my poking around in that function fixed it.

yeah... we might try it with another theme (i.e. NOT Numix) but at the
same time,
Gnome has been seriously imparing things in other DE.  For example, use
Gedit in xenial....
I am sure it is great in Gnome, but it is rather horrid in JWM.  I use
Pluma in JWM now.

Yeah Jack was right about the swap.
It was the same thing as the initial UUID bug I found.  Now we get UUID
instead of PARTUUID

ok
So, do we remove it from the install totally?
I might see if I can rework it....

You found the way to fix it.  I usually set the Sakura palette to Tango.
I think the issue is minor enough for things to be ok for now.

Ah yeah.. that is in a different file from the basic version.  Thanks
for catching this!
It is the same now as the other
"Click this if you are ready to go"
