Crashes at differnet spots certainly require 'hardware' to be
included as a cause. Even if the hardware is the CD's, or your
drives ability to read 'em. Attached is the RC2 md5sums. You can
check with 'md5sum /mnt/cdrom' or 'md5sum /dev/hd?' in a console.
Be patient, it'll probly take a minute or two before the result
appears.

If the md5sums don't check, or you suspect your CD drive is the
cause, d/l the hd.img, dd it to a floppy, copy the CD's you have to
HDD, an try'n install that way.
