TURBOLinux install question.

Iv'e been trying linux distros with success all day (God bless DSL, I've DL'ed Caldera, Slack, Freebsd, RH, and turbo), I can set them up well and get em online, config things (Xfree, different shells, packages) etc... and I am liking it alot... Well now, I am choosing one to stick with, and am now trying turbolinux. The install seems well, using the same partition setup ive used on all other distros, and once it gets to installing system, it says formatting/filesystem but it seems almost stuck there... I can move the cursor but its just taking a really long time, any ideas?

Sorry if the wording sounds kind of weird, I copied some of it from an IRC question I asked. TIA!

Wait nevermind! It's just reallly slow. After about 20 minutes it started formating partition 2. Maybe because I told it to check for bad blocks too.
