FC-6 disappointment on AMD Athlon64 3200+ machine

So far I have tried to install FC-6 four times on this machine,
and each time it has hung - the last time with 2 minutes to go,
while installing kdeaccessibility.
To avoid problems with CDs, I'm installing from hard disk.

I shall try again, this time installing the absolute minimum -
neither Gnome nor KDE, and not even X.
If this works, I'll install what I want afterwards with "yum groupinstall".
If it doesn't work, I'll probably go over to debian.

I really don't think anaconda is a very reliable program.
This machine has been running Windows XP and Linux for a couple of years
without any problems, so I assume there is nothing wrong with the hardware.

Incidentally, the log that is kept in /root is completely useless.
It simply tells me that the last package I was installing
was kdeaccessibility, which I already knew.
