    True.� However, when the installer got to the point of my telling it
    to go ahead and format the drive it went back to the previous page.<br>
    <br>
    Just to check the drive I downloaded the live distribution, burned
    it to a cd and it ran without any problems.� Unfortunately, there
    was no option to install the OS.<br>
