Can't go further than setting the root password!

Hi,

During install, after setting up keyboard, timezone, hostname, domain I’m asked to suggest a root password. No matter what password I type I always get the error “Problem setting ‘root’ password”. I push “OK” and get a warning “Initial setup was not entirely complete…” Then it restarts the setup.

I’m installing IPFire on Oracle VM Virtualbox to give it a try.

Does your guest have two network adapters?
How did you configured your guest on VirtualBox?
