  Not common, but it does happen sometimes.  More often what happens is that
one of the scripts takes an ever-so-long time to run and it /seems/ to have
crashed.

  19% of which stage?  Downloading?  Installing?

  Depends.  If you've managed to download the packages to your local package
directory, you can just re-run it, choose "install from local directory",
click "keep" in the package chooser, then click all the way through without
altering any settings and it should just finish off any missing bits from the
last time.

  However, that's the most I can tell you in general terms; we need more
information to try and figure out what's actually happening in your machine.


    cheers,
