>Description:
Please help me, I am installing 6.2 or 7.0 (same result)from a set of CDs. 

The PC boots, goes through fdisk successfully, configures file system successfully and the following is reported on a blue screen: "The file system installs successfully"

Thereafter when the installation gets stuck and keeps coming up with "Unable to transfer the base distribution from acd0. Do you want to try to retrieve it again? Yes / No" 

It would appear that the system is unable to get the configuration from the CD for some obscure reason. This is strange because the disk surface is perfect, I booted off the same disk and I have installed off the same disk previously. I have tried other CDs with the same result. Consequently I am unable to proceed further as thereafter the rest of the installation complains of the same problem.

I am unable to find help in the docs on how to proceed and the handbook assumes that this part goes successfully.....

Kindly advise.
