Do you have any unusual peripherals hooked up, particularly SCSI
devices?  If you have a SCSI scanner, try turning it off during
install.  

Also, there is a good Corel usenet group which you can get to from
www.corel.com.  Go there to the linux link and then sign up to get on
the newsgroup.  Someone will be able to help there.  I hear a lot of bad
mouthing about Corel but after an initial frustration mine worked rather
well.  I'm using straight Debian now for various reasons but I have to
say that the Corel is amazingly easy to use and versatile, and I still
have it loaded on a partition in my machine.  Sometimes I check out its
configuration files when I'm stumped about something in Debian.

Good luck.

Erik
