Redhat 8 Install :(

I managed to borrow a copy of a linux book of a mate which came with a copy Redhat 8

It starts to install ok but when it gets to the stage where i need to remove the first Ccd and put in the second it just stops doing anything

The cdrom light occassionally flashes so assuming it was doing something i just left it to do it but it's been well over an hour and the 'progress' bar hasn't moved

Installing Packages: XFree86-xauth-4.2.0-72
size: 64Kytes
Summary: X authority file utility

Status:
Completed: 495 packages, 43 minutes
Remaining: 166 packages, 33 minutes


This is trying to install as a 'desktop' computer, already tried custom several times and had the exact same problem

Anyone have suggestions?

I had that problem when I installed Mandrake from ISO's I downloaded myself. The second one was corrupt, had to download it again. This was before I got broadband...

Good job I had a 20gb usb hard drive and easy access to the college PCs : )
