Nothing. Un-lzma, un-tar, as with all the other packages.

I have no idea what is rotten on the systems you are installing to. I
have not heard anything related to that till now.

When it hangs, can you make a copy of 
	.../2008/temp/texlive.infra*
(i.e., of all files there starting with texlive.infra) and put them up
somewhere, maybe they are corrupted.

Other than that, without any ways to debug that, I have no idea.


Best wishes
