Rebooted dc7700 & started install again.

This time installed started with `sudo -E calamares -d`

As before, two partitions
- sda1
- sda2

Selected replace partition; swapped from one to the other (counting 1, 2, 3.. until 10) though I may counter to 11 as I wanted to stop on sda1

switched to manual partition; then back to replace partition
again swap between sda1 & count 1, 2, 3, 4... (10 or 11 until I got to select sda1)

this is repeated until it crashes.. at times is fast, but slows down..

I can't be accurate how far I got, but it soon crashed

My hope was I'd see something I could take upstream (github/calamares) but I don't see anything.... (session.log just ends)

I get the feeling the constant 'change of mind' or flipping sda1 then sda2 causes details to be thrown onto a stack, which after ~20-25 times overflow/crash - but that's feeling by the operation & how it slows.. (ie. exponential growth as new PUSH contains all of prior stack + up to last change-of-mind..) but that's guess; and it's not always slower.. it fits the 'average' of the slowdown maybe..)

I don't see a 'smoking gun' so for now I'll just ignore it I think..
