Continuing.. on front display, vix image flashing

[Hamram]

Creating a swap file on USB, how long time is it supposed to take..? Last time I did it, I just started the process, and went out for a while. When I got back home, it was all done. This time I'm sitting and waiting, and so far I've been sitting here for at least 40 minutes, just waiting.... "Wait please while creating swapfile..."

Anybody..? Should I be patient, or start all over again?

what size swapfile where you trying to create ?, if 96mb try creating a 64mb, some USB sticks dont like a 96mb swapfiles, we don't know why

Thanx! I'll try this tomorrow. I was trying on the 96 option.

i just reflashed again and again and again until it installed properly from scratch then did all updates and then reflashed from my backup and things seem to be a ok at the moment (touch wood) lol
