I have been having the time installing this OS....now it locks up during the install any idea on how to fix this?

What distro are you installing?

Where during install do you get the lockup?

Let's get you goin! Throw me some more info...

I really do not know what you mean by distro/// the version is redhat linux 6.0
and the lock up is coming after i select the packages to install(which I really do not know which ones to install) and it formats the drive attempts to install the package
glibc-2.1.1-9mdk
size 16167k
summary: GNU libc

Do I even need this package? If not where do I unselect it? Any hints on what packages to install? I take all the defaults except the networking station and I add the printer option. Am I doing something wrong? I heard that linux is not user friendly with some hardware, is this true?

Distro=distribution (Redhat, Slackware, Debian, Storm Linux, etc.)

This is an interesting problem. I'll do some research, and post what I find.

In the meantime, I'd look at www.redhat.com for more specific installation troubleshooting.

Is there a choice of whether or not you want a text or graphics based install?

If so, try using the text based. I have heard of that working a lot better than graphical install.
