Mine hung as well. At Checking Environment... I traced it down to a 
system function in the install_version_checks() function of 
install-utils.inc called right at the beginning there.

I commented:
# Turn off output buffering if it's on
   #ob_end_flush();
and everything went smoothly. It didn't seem to buffer the output 
anyway. php version 4.3.8-dotdeb
