Ah! Found the problem. As always with me, it was something stupid that's my fault.
I decided to click the "details" arrow to see what it was doing. Then I found a dialog asking me what to set as my default display manager. (I chose KDM because it started with a "K.")
So it was sitting there all this time (about two or three days by now) asking what display manager to use! So all I can do now is sit back and let it install. The PERFECT time for a Back to the Future marathon on ABC.

Nope. Cox hi-speed. Maybe apt-get hates me.

It should not take all day long. Your screensaver shouldn't slow anything
down.
Are you using slow dial-up to retrieve packages? (But even that plus
installation should not take 8 hours.)
