Gene, I'd just try re-installing it using the Live session. It seems 
others have had the same problem (and networking problems) going 
straight to install. And just let it pick it's own disk partition

Don't push any red buttons, as red is not a good color to push. You and 
I are much alike (dinosaurs) and we like to push the buttons. <cackles> Ric
