CentOS - Jun 2007 - CentOS 5 hung while "Checking dependencies..."

Since CentOS 4 turned out to be short on supporting my sound card, I
picked up a the DVD for 5. I have been running 4 on this PC fine
though.

The install hangs in "Checking dependencies in packages selected for
installation..." with the bar at 3/4 or so. I thought this was because
I took the offer to upgrade my CentOS 4 installation, but it hangs at
the same spot for a new install, even when I do not tamper with the
selected packages.

What's my approach to move forward?  I did check the DVD with the
verification step.

Have you been patient enough? On some low-end CPUs it may take up to 15-20
minutes to solve dependencies!

RHEL5 has the slowest Anaconda I've ever seen.

Oh my! You have been too patient! (I guess it's the dog.)
Have you looked into the consoles 2 to 8, to see if it's really frozen?
Gee, I suppose RHEL6 will be worse than Vista!
