| | Have you tried other distributions? Not every distro is perfect and it could be a bug in FC6. Also, how long have you let it sit? It's possible that it's doing something computationally expensive that just takes a while. |

| Yeah, that makes it harder. Did you burn the first CD from somewhere else?
Not sure why your installation would just freeze. Have you tried googling for it? The Fedora forum people would probably be much more useful than us. |

| | Usually the CD images are some 680 mb per image, and most distros I've seen have 2 to 4 CDs. |
