Fedora 3 hanging before Anaconda launches

[Jody]

Hello, new linux user here. I am trying to install Fedora 3.0 (DVD version) 
on my system, but every time I do it hangs just before it launches 
Anaconda. It just sits there doing nothing...can any kind person give me a 
hint as to what might be going on?

AMD 2600+
A7N8X MB
LG SuperMulti DVD Burner
1Ghz RAM
Maxtor 120GB HD

Not sure what other info might be useful...

Thanks
