GOAL
====
Complete the Unibeast 8.3.2 High Sierra 'installation' phase (see screenshot below) and confirm by reaching the 'summary' phase. Unibeast 8.3.2 High Sierra 'installation' phase continues to run after 60+ minutes and has not reached ' summary' phase.
My reading indicates that the process should complete in 10 min, that being said I am OK with however long it takes, but would like to understand if there is a problem when the Unibeast indicator at 30 minutes persists:
The instructions are well-written and screen shots are very helpful
BACKGROUND
=========
Application = Install High Sierra 5.23 GB (in the ballpark of a modern OS)
Based on the OS X download troubleshooting sticky (my installer is 5.23GB and not the problematic 19MB installer), does this confirm that a good Step 1 download?
FIRST UNIBEAST ATTEMPT
=========
Measurements were taken with the command and posted below:
df -h | grep Install

It would seem that the last 3 measurements indicate that little or no writes are performed after an hour.
QUESTIONS
========
1) Can anyone with a good working High-Sierra Unibeast flash drive confirm that the measurement above confirm a good or bad install? A similar measurement from a good working High-Sierra Unibeast flash drive with df -h would be appreciated
2) Does the flashing process take significantly more than 10 min? (maybe the instructions need updating and are valid for an older version?).
3) Why does Unibeast continue with the installation phase after an hour and not advance to summary? Does this indicate and incomplete process or a underlying issue?
4) IF THE 'SUMMARY' PHASE IS NOT REACHED DOES THIS MEAN THE PROCESS IS UNSUCCESSFUL?
5) How to test the Unibeast flash drive?
UPDATE: Dell Desktop successfully boots Ubuntu live flash drive. Attempt to boot with Unibeast-High Sierra: Monitor shows no activity with Unibeast flash drive
