Field Note #1 @Ali C. 2009-02-25

Try a different, newer distro such as iPC. You may have better luck with it.

Field Note #2 @erick2red 2009-02-25

u could check the log installer window, or burn again the DVD

Field Note #3 @newbmac 2009-02-26

I used to get this with kalyway 10.5.2 . I ended up running install with the active log installer window open and moving the mouse every few minutes.

Otherwise, 10.5.2 kalyway is ANCIENT. Move on to a more moden distro..
