I can only get as far as where it prompts for the software packages.. it says "Searching for Software Packages.. then the computer reboots. Sometimes it only half reboots and everything just disappears and there is no more video signal.

I checked the md5sum and it was correct for the ISOs before I burned them. Is it beacuse I have the Toshiba 40x cd rom drive hooked on the ATA/100 Maxtor Controller card? Here is my setup:

P2/266
192 megs of ram
30 GIG ATA/100 7200 RPM Maxtor HD
40x Toshiba CD Rom Drive
Maxtor ATA/100 Controller Card
Matrox G200 Graphics Card
Netgear Network Card 312
3.5 floppy

The HD and Toshiba CD rom are both hooked up to the maxtor controller card.

Any help???
