>Environment:
installation problem
>Description:
On a a plain 486DX, 8 Ram, IDE (installs fine with Win9X):

After going through novice/express/custom installtion steps, the "progress" extraction of the distributions hangs with the meter at 0% and only a few bytes reported as copied.  Using the "fdisk" and labeler utilities and the (A)uto options and (W)rite option properly writes to HD.  Custom kernel is built with only IDE/WDC0 (?) on int 14 and port 0x1f0. It seems to be linked to the CDROM having to copy files to the HD.  Have tried using different CDROMs without success.  (CDROM is slave to primary HD of 535 MB)

Note:  Choosing individual ports and installing them copied fine.
