Hi Ed,
I had the same problem when trying to install Mandrake 7.02 on an Athlon
System. I don't know what caused it, but I think it has something to do
with the length of time you take to install. My installs were also
crashing during or after the partitioning segment. After the 2nd crash I
knew exactly what I wanted to do with my partitions so when I got to that
step I partitioned the drives quickly and moved on, and the installer
didn't crash. So maybe that will work for you to.
