Yes - always hangs in the same place (31 bit or 64 bit) -- I bypassed by
proactively selecting which packages to use at install time and kept the slp
server from being installed.  Everything came up (31 bit mode) just fine.  I
will try the 64 bit mode next week.

Doug,

By chance do you have both sets of .iso files on the same system? It would
be interesting to "diff" each pair of CDs. It's possible the first set is
corrupted, but I have yet to see a corrupted byte from a completed FTP. If
the first set is corrupted that will reinforce that it is worth also
downloading the md5sum checksum files and verifying the integrity of the
download.

Good.

Hmm, this is curious too.  I've installed SLES9 a number of times and slpd
always comes up clean. Does it always hang in the same place.

Yes, let us know.
