i'm using sysinstall, and when i commit, it says that it is creating the =
root
directory, but it just hangs there, about 3 hours so far, with the hdd li=
ght
on, but the hardrives aren't doing anything. i am installing from a pion=
eer
ide dvd-rom (i have also tried using my hp cdr drive, same thing) to a ma=
xtor
udma66 drive. i've rtfm, but am unable to find anything similar, or a
solution. alt-f2 or alt-f4 don't do anything, so i cannot say if i am
getting any errors.
thanks in advance
