You mean it stopped at the exact same point - where it was installing UUCP in *ALL* your attempts ? I can't recall any known issue. Take a look at the last few lines of the dmesg output and see if the kernel has something interesting to say. Another thing worth doing is to use the proc tools and figure out whats stuck: Open a new terminal. Run a ptree command - see if there is a pkgadd command running. Run truss on the pid and figure out what it is doing. If its doing a waitpid(), follow its child and keep doing this until you see a thread which seems to be blocked. That might be able to give us some more clues about what is happening. Maybe a bug or just a media issue - but investigate and provide us a little more detail. Cheers, Ananth
