Possibly a bad disk, possibly bad hardware on your system (a disk really
shouldn't crash it). Try returning the suspect CD for media
replacement.
If you have networking (even a modem), you really don't _need_ the third
disk, you can install or update packages over the network. I've
installed a dozen or more systems over a dialup line (helps if you can
tie up the phone line overnight). Far less time for a high-speed
connection.
That said, by the time you get to the third/fourth disks, you're largely
dealing with noncritical stuff anyway.
