* First, either Install from Internet or Install from Local Directory.
* Then I specify the root directory (same as I used to have when it 
worked), Install For All Users, Default Text File Type: Unix.
* At "Select You Internet Connection" I choose Direct Connection. I 
usually download from ftp.sunet.se, but I have tried a couple of other 
servers too.
* At "Select Packages", I leave everythnig as Default, except the Devel 
category, the Publishing category and Graphics/OpenGL, where I choose 
Install.

Exactly. It is not unresponsive though. I can still cancel it 
gracefully, but it doesn't do anything. I have left it on for an hour 
after it seems to hang, just to confirm that it isn't just progressing 
slowly.

I did scan my hard drives (as suggested by L Anderson) with Norton Disk 
Doctor a couple of days ago, but I'm doing it again now. I'll post again 
if that fixes the problem.
