So, you have installed before (4.8 for instance) with no problems?

If you press alt-F2 during the install, you may get more information
which will be helpful...

I recommend trying to get more information about the problem and
posting it to the -stable mailiing list (where they are working on
ironing out any remaining problems before the 4.9 -release)


PS> please wrap your lines at <80 characters. It is easier to read.
