Suggest you try the install a second time but this time take note of the
last thing you see before the system hangs.  Send e-mail to the list
with
that information and possibly someone can figure out where your system
is
hanging.

You might also try editing opendos.ini on the disk set and change
Newui=On to Newui=Off.  If that works, the new user interface and
your video card were fighting.  Turning that off is equivalent to
getting
you the same interface that msdos has.
