problem while unpacking Emacs

[Bert Saenen <Bert.Saenen@skynet.be>]

Hello,

When I try to install Debian 2.2, everything goes fine untill the installer
starts unpacking Emacs. As soon as it starts unpacking it, all activity
stops and the screen freezes. All I can do is to reboot the system and do
the installation all over again (I once waited for about an hour but really
nothing happens).  Could this be a faulty cd-rom or do you think it's
something else?

TIA.

Best regards,

Bert S.


P.S.  I'm trying to install Debian on a beige G3 desktop (233mhz,128Mb ram)
on an IDE hard disk (2 linux partitions: 128MB swap and 3Gb root, and 1 HFS
partition; MacOS is on another SCSI disk).
