8.0 installation


Im trying to install RH8.0. It rapidly installs 9 packages and then stops. It's trying to install bzip2-
libs-1.0.2-5 when it stops. The CD drive becomes unresponsive and won't even
let me eject the CD. This is repeatable every time. Its always package 9 when
the installation stops. I tested the installation cds with linux mediacheck boot option and all passed. What should I do to install?
