Suse Install Issues

[Eric Jensen]

I'm trying to like Suse, I really am.  But I can't even get it to 
install.  Every time it dies at the same place.  Says it is loading Yast 
and then I see packages fly by and once it gets to "int.14 soft raid" it 
just stops.  I can wait for 20 minutes and nothing will happen.  Tried 
FTP/HTTP from various sites, including some recommended here in an 
earlier thread.  Have the DVD ISO mounted on our own server and accessed 
it via HTTP.  Then tried extracting it to a USB drive and installing 
from that.  Don't have any DVD-ROM drives here so I haven't been able to 
try that.  Any suggestions before I just throw in trusty ol' Slackware 10.1?
