I have opensolaris 5 and I try to install it but I am having problems.

The splash screen comes up and asks for your choice. I choose to install, and 
it appears to be loading, then the after a little bit, the screen goes black 
and the cursur is blinking in the top left corner......forever. I have let it 
go for 15 min., and no other install screens appear.

I have 3 hard drives, each partitioned in half. I have windowsxp installed on 
one partition and my other files are on the others. 

I am loading the installation files from an ISO from my optical drive. 

I don't think my issue is specific to opensolaris, as I have tried other linux 
distros and they all seem to hang after the files seem to get loaded.

I am really not sure what to do, as I suspect it is a sequence of events issue 
and i am not sure if windows isn't helping.

Any suggestions? As you can tell I am a first time linux user.

Cheers,
Shawn
