 That's interesting.

 I initially copied the disk from my Xandros's CD drive to my external
 HD connected to the laptop by Firewire, as previous attempts to copy
 using Windows had failed.                   

 With the laptop still connected to the external drive via Firewire,
 I attempted the build from an XP desktop connected to a SMC Barricade
 router via Realtek 10/100 NIC.  The laptop was also connected to
 the router via Netgear FA411 10/100 cardbus.  The source was the
 Xandros share on the external hard drive.  This progressed, but
 eventually stalled.

 I then connected the external hard drive directly to the XP desktop
 by USB 2.0 and proceeded to success.  It was apparent watching the
 build screen, that the build was going much faster with the second
 setup.  This led me to infer that perhaps the first setup was too
 slow.
