if you have an old cd drive you are doing the install with, it may not be 
reading the final few packages.  in the install hit ctr-alt-f3 (maybe f4, 
not sure) and see what packages it is trying.  for me it was xwpic, xmovie, 
ytalk and yudit.  start the install again but be sure those are not 
selected.  zsh and xmms may also be problems, might want to uncheck them.  
install should proceed fine.

now here is the kicker, once installed and booted i was able to install the 
failed packages.  guess the generic install driver is not as good as the 
real running driver.  ;-)

you might also try reburning cd 2 on a slower speed.

...so Mr. Gates, in short, the reason I am not using your software is that I 
have upped my standards.  So up yours.
