Ok, didn't realise that. Maybe the message could be more explict?

Fair enough.

Hmm. Well, I left it for several minutes. All I had was an empty window 
headed "Your Vectorlinux installation", no sign of hard drive activity. 
I'll try again and see if waiting longer fixes it.

Nothing about waiting. And it looked as though it was finished.

At present, the keyboard selection stuff at the start of the install 
doesn't seem to do much (unless it affects the keyboard layout during 
the install?). At the end of the install, even though I had selected UK 
layout, I still had US layout.

:) Its getting there, but still a way to go, I think....
