I have
  (i)    A Packard Bell Platinum I Pentium 133 mHz computer.
 (ii)    16 Mb Ram
 (iii)  2.1 G hard drive -LBA is enabled
 (iv)  A  4X  Sony Cd-Rom Drive
 (iv)  The Drives are connected directly to the motherboard.

An addtional sound card is also installed on an ISA port. (DC
Technology)

 The CD is configured as a master  device?

 Problem:
 A  Walnut CD-ROM is used to install the software onto my computer.
 Using the smallest possible configuration I try to install 4.4 BSD Lite

 Based  32 bit Operating System  Release 2.2.2.

All goes well until it reaches the reading section of the files from the

 first directory i.e. bin directory. The system just hangs displaying
the
 message 1024 bytes read ....from 1 of 72... @ 1.0 kb/sec.

The Keyboard also hangs.

 Help !!
