<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div>I installed Debian 7.x.0 from the LXDE CD (debian-7.3.0-i386-lxde-CD-1.iso ) into a VirtualBox VM (both i586 and x86-64) several times in the past, and was always frustrated at how long the installation process is. I specifically ask it not to contact a remote mirror, but the installation nevertheless takes over an hour. In comparison, installing Mageia Linux 3 from the dual ISO takes under 10 minutes.<br>
<br></div>Can anyone shed any light about why this is the case, and whether there is anything I can do to fix it?<br><br></div>Regards,<br><br></div>-- Shlomi Fish<br><br></div>P.S: another thing that annoys me about Debian is the fact that apt-get -y dist-upgrade still sometimes halts the installation process to ask me questions and prompts. This is a big misfeature and I wonder if there's a way to make apt-get completely non-interactive.<br clear="all">
