What machine are you installing on? Did you reformat the HD, run Disk Utility, etc.?

Beige G3, I went and I told it not to install any drivers... this is right at the beginning of copying files. It says its looking at the packages and than the whole thing freezes over.
I have re-formated the Drive 2 or 3 times in both Unix and Mac format.
I have never had such a problem with my mac before.
I know the CD is ok, I have used it before.
Keep the advice coming
