Hi,

I'm installing RedHat 4.2. The setup freezes right after
the setup for the swap partition. I am selecting
the options to setup and verify, hit OK, I see the
indication bar filling up, then it disapears and I go 
to the background screen displaying only what I believe is
the number corresponding to the step for the installation: 6A

Hardware:
P133
1.27 GIG Seagate Internal HD (IDE)
Installing 4.2 with original boot floppy and CD.

my partitioning map:
temp/hda1	/	80MB	Linux Native
temp/hda2	/usr	500MB	Linux Native
temp/hda3	/home	620MB	Linux Native
temp/hda4	swap	16MB	Linux Swap

I've tried to change the map having the swap under hda1 and
I get the same results.

I appretiate your help.
