I've noticed that on some attempts it gets past the point where it is copying the base system and then proceeds with the stage where it's copying "GENERIC" to /boot, gets to 12% and then freezes up. What is wrong with this? Something wrong with the computer? A bug in the software? How can I find out what is causing the trouble I am having? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I can't seem to figure it out. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
