Sorry for the email threading issue, I am not receiving emails directly as there is a problem somewhere at my email server end or my ISP end as posted in another topic. I suspected it had to be RAM limitations. Makes sense. I have another system with a slower processor (677MHz) but with more RAM (512M), and F10 installs quite smoothly. I guess the jump from F9 to F10 (Live CD) requires significantly more RAM space. I think I will install F9 but it may turn out to be very slow and with high disk swapping @ 256MB RAM. I'll find out soon enough! I guess I will have to budget later to add more RAM to the DX5000. The RIMMS are expensive and I'll need (2) 512M modules @ $59.95 ea or (2) 256MB modules @ $39.00 ea. The DX5000 requires two RAM modules, same-make, in order to function properly per specs. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
