[App_rpt-users] Regarding Dial installation..

[Peter Kendall]

Been watching this thread for a bit. Funnily enough I have/have had 
exactly the same problem installing the SAME iso that has previously 
been working fine. Stuck at " Reading state information" just assumed it 
was something my end. Installed debian 9 and used the new apt repository 
to install allstar and all good.
