[Rule-list] Network install not working

I have an old 486-66 with 16 meg ram I use that I need to update to 7.2 if
possible.  It keeps getting hacked from someone in Romania with the following
email addresses:

singurSAD at millennium.ro
pakatosu at millennium.ro

Apparently I can't do a local install.  I downloaded the images off the 'net.
My old Soundblaster Pro CDRom keeps failing part way through the install.  I'm
assuming that it's having a hard time reading the CDs I burnt.

I was able to do a successful network install of 6.2.  But when I try it with
7.2 with the CD in a CD-Writer, it gets to the place where it tries to run
Anaconda, and goes no further:

Running anaconda - please wait...

I let it go overnight, thinking maybe it just takes time to run, but 7 hours
later it had the same message.  I'm using minicom with udates_v0.7.3.img.

I need this box to install 7.2, so any help you can provide will be appreciated!

Glen
