But i am absolutely clueless about what has been happening with RH 9. I started off with trying to install using the text mode, and evrythign seems fine until I choose my packages and it starts installing the packages. And then after installing a few hundred packages, the machine shuts itself down! This happened twice in the text mode. It didnt even get to to the second CD. I had no patience left at that point the night before last and I tried one last time and chose "All packages". This time it finished installing the packages on CD 1 and everything was okay for a while with CD2 and then it happened again. The machine shut itself down completely!

Is there any chance that your computer is overheating? Some BIOSes have auto 
shutdown functions that activate at certain temperature. (I doubt that HP has 
them in their BIOS, though...)
