I waited overnight and it was still hung in the morning. My local
mirror is on the LAN, so it's not a network issue.
I was able to find another system, and it appeared to hang at the
same spot (that is, I was looking at alternate console #3 and saw
that it stopped at the same RPM). However, after a couple of minutes
it proceeded. My guess is that this RPM is the last one to download,
and the kickstart process needs to "think" about the next step.
While it was stuck at this step, anaconda was using close to 100% of
the CPU according to top in console 2.
So it appears to be a resource problem on the smaller desktops. The
specs are Pentium 4 @ 3.00GHz with 1.5GB of memory and integrated
Intel 915G/915GV/910GL accelerated VGA graphics. This should be more
than enough to install/run CentOS. I even tried installing in text
mode and it also hung. Very strange...
