Q: Installer worked, installation did not
Making the bootable El Capitan installer according to Apple's article worked well. Booting from the installer worked well. Installation seemd to work well but got stuck saying "less than 1 minute" for a very very long time. I tried with several usb sticks and got the same result every time.
Any hints on hiw to fix this? Are there any limitations like installing on external ssd?

Thank you all for your answers.
I got the installation going like this:
1) downloaded the installer again when the new version was available
2) Reformatted the stick and remade the bootable installer using Apple's directions
3) Started the installation and had supper when the installer showed "less than 1 minute"
4) did the dishes and found that the installation had finished successfully
However Apple calculates that ONE minute, it almost took an hour to finish from that point on.
Best regards
