I included an MD5 for the ISO. Have you checked it? 

Another possiblity (which I see more often) is that you've run out of
RAM. Unfortunately with the ISO you can't modify which packages gets
loaded so there's really nothing you can do--if this is even the problem.

The next ISO will probably probably be smaller as to encourage folks to
burn their own images with the script I provided or boot off a floppy and
then load images off a CD-ROM. I'll probably guess at which packages are
used most often (or folks can email to this list) and then burn an
8-10mb image and set the pkglist to only load enough packages for 32-64meg
box.
