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!
Dan
