Hi Jean-Claude,
When does the setup hang exactly? I installed Xwin this morning and it
hangs while executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh. So I cancelled the
installation and I went in the /etc/postinstall directory and I executed
all the sh scripts one by one and renamed them *.done.
I don't know why it happens though. Executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh
manually seems to work fine...
Hope this helps...
Jonathan
