setup hangs during postinstall

I have no idea if this is useful to those debugging this.  If no, I 
apologise for the post.

On windows, my user name is 'Cliff Stanford' with the space.  I was 
seeing these hangs until I put in a symlink for my home directory and 
added a line to /etc/passwd with a user of "cliff" rather than "Cliff 
Stanford" pointing to "/home/cliff" rather than "/home/Cliff Stanford".

I'm not saying the change made the problem go away, just that it went 
away and around the same time as I made the change.

Regards,
Cliff.
