install failure



Hello everyone.  I am having a frustrating time of installing Debian on
my Powerbook G3 (1999) Lombard bronze keyboard laptop.  I ordered the
Woody 3.0r2 six CD set from a vendor listed on the Debian web site.  My
install attempt is for a Debian only OS on my laptop.  Everything works
fine until I get to the installation of the packages.  I choose the
tasksel option for the package installation figuring it would be the
easiest for a newbie like me.  The system starts to install the
packages, but freezes and stops at this display message:

/instmnt/pool/main/6/base-config/base-config-1.33.18_all.deb

Previous install attempts actually shut down the laptop when it got to
the package installation stage.  I am at a real loss here.  Please help
guide me to a successful installation of Debian.

Bill
