Help with first-time install

[eburns@pdc.com (Edward Burns)]

Hi. I'm brand new to linux and am running into a problem with my first install.
After choosing "Install the Base System" from the menu, the screen reads,

"The base system is being extracted from
/instmnt/stable/disks-i386/current/base1_1.3tgz ..."

and it just hangs there. I've tried three times and it hangs in the same place
and does not progress no matter how long I wait.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ed
