There was no appearance of the progress bar, after 30 minutes, nor did there
seem to be any activity on he DVD drive.
My old K6 test machine took 128 minutes (2 hours plus) to do an install of FC6

It is probably faster to do a minimal install, and then to do stepwise installs
of the packages you want. It, at least, will *seem* to be faster.

A with a recent partial install of FC6 on a PII-233/512, after lunch I
put on a long movie. Both the movie and the install finished about the
same time.

On a PII-400 a full install, I think it took 2 movies...
