My installation did the same thing with the CheapBytes CD.
I did several installs with it. One solution was to just install
the base system during the install phase and then use dselect to add
the packages I needed. (was time consuming)
Another solution was to change to a VT and kill the hanging process each
time it hung just to get thru the install (also time consuming).
So, what is the lesson we have learned?
AVOID THE CHEAPBYTES HAMM CDs.
