Catalina installation stuck
The Catalina installation seems to be stuck for hours with:
“Estimating time remaining...”
I don’t recall having an installation on previous OSs taking so long.
Forced reboot and back to the same stage.
Anybody?

After about two hours of seemingly no progress, I restarted. I don't really consider this a good thing to do during a system installation but this seemed to get things going. At least a message came up saying 32 minutes remaining – although it still took over an hour after that.
I think Apple needs to put a more senior developer on the install process to reassure the user that things are working and give progress.
Mine took 4 days!
How did you reboot out of Calculating? (catalina)
Thanks

It’s been almost 24 hrs and the bar has not moved. How long did yours take overall?
It never got there - TWICE
