I, too, would like to find an answer to the above problem. A search on
dejanews locates hundreds of messages similar to this one, but no answers
(unless you're running an Athalon...the answer is then upgrade to frozen). I
have an old 486 that I'd like to install Debian 2.1 or 2.2 on, but I get the
same hang every time. I can install RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE and Slackware, but
not Debian.
Any ideas?
