I have for some time been, and after many attempts remain, unable to 
install Debian, which I previously have used for many years.  The 
failures occur during "select and install", about a third of the way 
through, but not always at the same place.  My terabyte disk is 
partitioned with /boot of 1gB, / of 500 gB,  16 gB of swap, and the rest 
as /home, with about 200M not used.  I have 8 gB of ram. Ubuntu-gnome 
installs easily and functions correctly.

If you can suggest anything I would appreciate it.  This is just 
bewildering to me.  Thanks,
