I had the same problems (freezing at different steps in the install
procedure), so I gave up. I remember that somewhere on Google I found
a posting that related all of these freezes to Mandrake's 2.4.x kernel
and recommend using the 2.2.x kernel to boot and install from. I gave
it up and used SuSE 7.2 instead.
