I recently purchases "The Complete LINUX operating system 6.0" and have
begun to install it.  However, after following the instructions to the
letter, I have come to the actual installation, and am unable to
finish.  I can load my computer off the 3.5 boot disk that came with
the OS, and I can start the install process.  It goes through and
checks my partition, my hard drive, etc. all the fun stuff, and has no
problems.  then it getsdown to the line "running install.." and it
hangs.  I have tried everything I know to get this to load, and I am
stuck.  My computer will not allow me to boot from my cdrom, so that
option is out.  There is an autoboot.bat file on the cd, but I am
unable to get to my cdrom drive when I boot it with a floppy.  I really
need help!  Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks in advance!
