Possibly a bad disk, possibly bad hardware on your system (a disk really shouldn't crash it). Try returning the suspect CD for media replacement. If you have networking (even a modem), you really don't _need_ the third disk, you can install or update packages over the network. I've installed a dozen or more systems over a dialup line (helps if you can tie up the phone line overnight). Far less time for a high-speed connection. That said, by the time you get to the third/fourth disks, you're largely dealing with noncritical stuff anyway. -- Karsten M.
