I tried switching the CD drive to master, no luck Then I
replaced the CD drive with a new one fresh out of the box
and still no luck. Tried mandrake 8.2 instead of 9.0 and still
no luck. I then tried to install 8.1 IT WORKED!!!
After that I tried to upgrade to 9.0 and back to the same
old story, the installation hung in the same spot again.
Anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks
Marc
