Debian linux install hangs on configuring network + debugging linux install issues

Allegedly happens when the network is misconfigured.
- Since a black screen issue I religiously md5sum the ISOs, otherwise that would’ve been the prime suspect
In my case I had port forwarding and DMZ and ipv6 configured in the router, disabling all of that fixed the installation issues
To debug installation issues, <Ctrl-Shift-F2> to go to the tty and cat /var/log/syslog
- less is not installed but nano is
- tty4 has live running logs
  - that are nice for non-graphical install and “is it doing anything now?”

Nel mezzo del deserto posso dire tutto quello che voglio.
