the cd and start the installation, i get an internal error immedietely
that says:

expandable, but that didnt work for me. Im not sure what else to try,
any thoughts?

ok so i delete the partition and recreate a new one as a DOS partition
instead of the FAT32 partition and i was able to get past the previous
error. But now it says:

"Setup is out of memory and cannot continue"

i feel like something has started out very wrong.
