I downloaded the iso and used Nero to burn the image onto a CD. The
install went without a hitch .. even got my usb mouse working =)
If you do use nero to burn the CD, you must note that Nero (version 4.0.7.5)
is unable to open a *.iso file and properly recognize it(or at least I could
not find out how to do it ... still a newbie at all this). So, what I did
was rename the file with a .nrg extension (extension that nero seems to use
for a CD-image), opened the file up with Nero, and burned the image....this
worked for me.
