This may be a bad interaction with FreeDOS EMM386.  (I was wrong to
make it the default based on so little testing.)  Try editing
config.sys to switch back to using umbpci.sys instead.  Or download
unattended-4.1b-test2 from
<http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/>, which already has this
reverted.

Actually, most people are having pretty good experiences with the
Linux boot disk.  Could you try a couple of things for me?

First, when it hangs, press "Alt-F2" (to switch to virtual console 2)
and then try "ls /z".  You can press Alt-F1 to get back to your
original virtual terminal, not that it will help any.

Also, please try disabling Linux's ACPI support, which seems to be
troublesome on some laptops.  Hold down the shift key while booting
the CD, and then type "unattended acpi=off" at the boot: prompt.

Thanks!
