rh 7.3 instalation

[Justin Zygmont]

i'd recommend using rh 9.0 if you can get it, but for your install 
problem, you can switch to the other virtual consoles when it fails and 
see what the error message was, it might help identify where the problem 
was.  CTRL-ALT-F1 F2 F3 F4   Are you using text mode or GUI?
