<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Ongoing saga.<br>
<br>
After trying several options without success:<br>
downloading missing firmware files which were not found by the
installer<br>
downloading version with firmware which failed during download
(forbidden). The download went overnight so I don't know if
anything <br>
triggered the message.<br>
connecting to internet by router<br>
<br>
The last attempt seemed to work although it did not set up wifi.
However after 4 hours it hung 'updating grub'. The install appears
to have minimal content on the usb drive and download everything.
This is tricky with a ISP with 50kbs download speed and subject to
interruption. After completing the download of 1400 files, it
failed. However a restart of that step started at the last file
and completed.<br>
<br>
Mistakenly I selected the graphical interface which doesn't
provide any useful error messages.<br>
<br>
The grub portion of the install has reported problems. I think the
source is that the laptop is setup already with Ubuntu and Windows
dual-boot and so there is an existing grub setup. <br>

A few suggestions:
* Use ethernet (wifi is commonly unfriendly towards Free software)
* Maybe try unofficial install image with non-free firmware added:

* Seek help generally about Debian:

This mailinglist is not for generally getting Debian installed, so if
you have problems with that, please seek help elsewhere (see above).
Looking forward to your experiences with Sugar on Debian!
