As I responded on the mailing list, it worked for me.

Check that there is enough space in the filesystems being used,
and that the md5sum and/or sha1sum hashes of the iso images are
correct.

Comment 3 William Kenney 2013-03-23 02:38:40 CET 
md5sum checks. Plenty of space on the HD partitions.
Lets see if someone else comes up with the same prob's.
I'm installing to real hardware, blank drive partitioned
by installer.
Comment 4 William Kenney 2013-03-23 02:39:04 CET 
80GB SATA drive
Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2013-03-23 03:52:44 CET 
The df command shows my kde install used 4.0G in the / filesystem, and 45M in /boot.  How big were the partitions created by the
installer?

Are you using a dvd or a usb stick?  I used a usb stick.
Comment 6 William Kenney 2013-03-23 04:25:05 CET 
I'm installing from a USB drive

80GB ( 72.34 ) SATA drive

[ /dev/sda1  ext4  12.01GB ]

[ /dev/sda2
      /dev/sda5 linux_swap 3.9GB
      /dev/sda6 ext4 60.42 ]
      
The way I measure this is that the drive is still not
bootable so I boot puppy linux 5.5 from a CD and use
gparted on puppy to find the drive partitioning. Also
puppy can get to the /root/drakx directory and copy
that.

unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0.3400.3;514ce6fc: cpio: read failed - Resource temporarily unavailable
libglib2.0_0-2.34.3-3.mga3.i586
libglib2.0_0-2.34.3-3.mga3.i586: install failed

but

Comment 8 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-23 13:38:30 CET 
and like Dave, it works fine here too
Comment 9 William Kenney 2013-03-23 15:14:25 CET 
I'm going to re-run my testing today and also try Vbox
Comment 10 William Kenney 2013-03-23 18:12:38 CET 
I have re-run my testing here using an 8GB USB thumb drive
and that in fact executed a successful install. The original
thumbdrive I used was 4GB. I then rewrote that 4GB with the
same ISO again, reexecuted an install and was successful
with that. I'll change this bug to RESOLVED.

FWIW both the 32 & 64 bit Classical Installers just barely
fit on a 4GB thumb drive. Seems I remember an issue with
4GB thumb drives way back when on Mandriva.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
