Installer extremely slow?

[gbee]

Is it normal for the Penumbra Collection installer to take hours? I don't mean to exaggerate but at it's current pace, it probably will be hours by the time it finishes. It's been running for over an hour and indicates it's only around 15% complete.

Edit: Found an earlier thread where several others had the same problem, so I guess it's a known issue. I switched to the nCurses installer as suggested and installation was complete in under 2 minutes.
