you could try a text mode install and not use the graphical one.
When it hangs can you still use Alt+F keys to change to a console, if so there should be one for the install process, I think its F1, there might be a clue to why it crashed on there.
Other than that you could download the new one and try that. Redhat 9 or Fedora
