&gt; | | but couldn't get it to install.  At the point that it should / would
&gt; | | normally start copying files, I get an error stating that I am 
&gt; probably
&gt; | | out of drive space.  I had setup [swap] (hda2 = 512MB), /boot (hda3 =
&gt; | | 100MB), / (hda3 = 9[ish]GB).  So, I figured I'd dorked something up,
&gt; | and
&gt; | | restarted.  Same thing (I went as far as to delete the partitions so
&gt; | | that there was just the 25GB NTFS, and a blank one).  So then, blew
&gt; | away
&gt; | | those partitions (that Linux created) again, and started the install
&gt; | | again, this time choosing the &quot;Personal Desktop&quot; option.  Same
&gt; | error.  I
&gt; | | think I'm just missing something, but can't seem to figure out 
&gt; what it
&gt; | | is.  I know that there's sufficient room there (on / ) for it to
&gt; | | install, or should be at least.  What am I missing?
