I had and still have this same problem, I do get it installed but have to
manualy install the bad packages. It continues when I press go on.
It is different packages everytime. I checked the bios and everything was
fine. I have been told it is the CD or CD-Rom being bad that causes this.
I know that can't be it cause this happens with nothing else and I have a
brand new CD-RW that it happens on also. I can install 7.1 , RedHat and
Win98SE with no probs. I also have a cheapbytes 7.2 that does this also and
the downloaded 7.2 iso's that I burned do the same. I am convinced it is not
my hardware or software. Although many would disagree with me.
