I am trying to install DSL-N on an oldish computer. I tell it to format hda1, because I want it to delete everything on the drive (it had Windows 98 and 2000 installed), it starts creating an ext2 filesystem, and then the screen just freezes. It's been like that for around 1 and a half hours, is this normal and is it still formatting, or is this a problem?
