Steve, 
	If it's any consolation, I tried the same download installation about a
month ago with similiar problems. I did eventually after several
attempts, manage a minimum install and got the rest of the programs via
download afterwards. However, the hardware detection was poor, lot of
hangups etc. I have in the past found SuSE good but via cdrom install.
Perhaps try CheepLinux for a CD. Used to be about a £1 or £2 only. Could
save a lot of hassel.
