tenacity, good.
virtual consoles, better :-]
when installing use the next key combo's to run around the different output screens for clues -why- it fails and -where-:
1 [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F1] installation dialog
2 [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F2] shell prompt
3 [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F3] install log (messages from installation program)
4 [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F4] system-related messages
5 [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F5] other messages
7 [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F7] X graphical display
If u can, determine the next things:
-enough RAM
-enough swap space
-hardware compatibility
-drives & partitions checked for errors
Other stuff IMO would be using text-based install and not installing every package on the disks on the first run.
