Well I tried the SIGHUP thing and I got the same results.
I started the install again and these were the errors==>
"Unable to transfer the bin distribution from 192.168.0.1:/cdrom.
   Do you want to try to retrieve it again?"
On the second console where all the messages are there was ==>
"mount_nfs: can't update /var/db/mounttab for 192.168.0.1:/cdrom"
Dont know what that 2nd message is about, anyone.......someone, help me???
