    Kali Linux stuck at 20% whilst installing - dual boot win 10

    Hi

    I am installing Kali Linux 64bit from a CD onto a Lenono T440p laptop i5 , 8GB RAM. I have 20GB free for the Linux installation and shrunk the partition in win 10. Restarted the PC and used to CD to try both the graphical and non graphical install.
    After creating a swap and another partition Ext4 file system and then proceed to copy and install files it get stuck at 20% and fails.

    Logs attached , there are some errors in the - 20 Jul 2019 2134 1 (sys.log) but not sure if they are the errors that caused the problem. Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Were you installing 2019.2?

    20Gb seems a bit short. If you insist on using just 20Gb, I'd recommend you try the light ISO, then install packages as needed.
