Why did you answer to me?
I did use the expert mode, because the previous install with "install" was
failed (does not show many installer pages, does not install most software,
only minimal system).

Please have a look to my report again and think about the USB hardware. I think, that something runs wrong, because I have a floppy via USB. But I did not understand the details.
