Installation hung up on 'Creating user'

[mkamerick]

I am trying to install Linux Lite on an Acer Aspire One netbook.
The installation hangs up a the 'Create user' point and never gets past it.
This is my second attempt.  The first one went on for over 24 hours before
I shut down the netbook.

The netbook does boot the LiveOS off of a USB stick perfectly well.
Linux Lite seems to run well on this little machine.

I am trying to install a dual boot configuration in order to preserve
the user files still in the XP partition.
If that is a real source of problems I could just do a full wipe and install.

Tia.
