Problems when reinstalling osx. Please help!

So I was reinstalling osx el Capitan on an old.imac and I'm stuck at this screen. What do I do?

How long do you let it sit? The recovery process is SOOOOO slow. On an old laptop I had to leave it overnight to get it to finish.

I figured it out. It has to use Ethernet to work. I let it sit for 2 hours. Now im almost done recovering. Use Ethernet. Wayyyy faster
