On my own followup, below is the installation log, indicating something major
is seriously amiss with installing jessie-tde live isos on a virtualbox vm.
Iam stopping trying to install jessie-tde on a vm for now, will try to
install it on an old t61 laptop instead, but any help with the mess below
would be appreciated.
