Although your equipment is much newer than mine, try a different set of disks, professionally burned if possible. It might make a difference. I had similar problems trying to upgrade/install Mdk8.2 and Rh7.3 from CDs burnt at the local LUG, although Mdk8.1 from Cheapbytes installs and runs great. Based on comments on this list and others, it seems that disks burnt at high speed do not always read well on older equipment. The Mdk8.2 would install with no complaints but would perform as you mention: mine would hand in Konqueror and lock up. The Rh CDs would not get past the 2nd stage install. Although, both sets were used to install other, newer computers with no problems. Waiting on opportunity for new disks, though actually not lacking anything except newer versions of things. Everything works fine with Mdk8.1. regards, Richard. > > >
