Base system installs OK.
During base system configuration it freezes between Configure APT and
Select Packages to Install.
I reboot and go beyond that to Finish Base System Configuration and sign on
as root. I type in tasksel and select the packages I want to install and hit
Finish. The screen tells me how many packages will be installed and asks to
continue Y/n. I type in Y and it asks me to put in disk 1 and hit enter. It
doesn't even try to read the disk.
I initially have trouble scanning the disks because of an error message
about unable to get security updates and it freezes and I need to reboot. This
continues until I try disk 3 and then I can scan in all the disks including disk
1 and 2. Then it freezes at the point of Select Packages To Install. At that
point I reboot and type in tasksel and then it doesn't read the disk as I
mentioned above.
I have installed the "Woody" version before without any trouble. I want to
try "Sarge" because "Woody" doesn't seem to support the SiS
650_651_M650_M652_740 Display Adapter Chipset and I couldn't figure how to set
it up so the display wasn't too big for the screen.
Thanks,

P. S. I'm a Linux newbie.
