Press Enter to exit...

If you try and install it via the downloaded installer.  What you should do is run the installer, and select 'Extract'.

Truecrypt Installation

It will dump a tar.gz into /tmp.

Extract that, and a folder called 'usr' will appear.  Copy that folder where-ever you want.  Inside BIN will be the truecrypt files.

You may need to play with permissions.
