for the past 30 minutes while saying "Installing software 100%". Is there
anything that I can do to troubleshoot here? I am a little lost because the process is
normally a fast one.

Is "ctrl-alt-f2" supposed to work here? It does nothing for me (on the LiveCD).
I did poweroff and was led to a grub prompt. I presume that this means that grub did not
get installed.
Just to clarify, I got a:
<grub>
prompt.
It appears that the system may have been installed (I do not know enough about this) but
the grub has not been installed? Any suggestions on how to get around this?
Many thanks,
