After a cumulative 15 man-hours wasted time, we've finally found out there are known
problems with installation on systems with useful amounts of RAM. We had a
successful install on a 64Mb router/firewall, but when we try to install on a 512Mb
system, the install kept coming up with CD read errors - on three separate sets of
CDs and three separate systems. I understand that anaconda has memory management
issues.
Check that DMA is turned off in the BIOS for that cd-rom drive.
I had similar problems with installing on older hardware where the CD's just randomly stopped working at random points of the install - DMA always seemed to be the problem
As for memory issues - I have installed 9 on various systems with far more memory than 64Meg - my own personal desktop has 786Meg of ram and installed without an issue.
