anaconda won't proceed

[caitken-Bm8TULXj0r/3fQ9qLvQP4Q at public.gmane.org]

I just received a brand new Touch Systems computer. Trying to install FC 
Core 4 (or 2 for that matter) the cursor just keeps flashing under the line 
"running /sbin/loader". It's been fifteen minutes. WIll it take an hour just 
to start the installation? I don't think the h/w is that complex. 

I managed to install W98 on a 3 GB partition I created earlier. System has 
480 MB RAM. 149 GB hard drive.
