Hi Greg: I am going to be less than helpful here contravening my own motto but if you flip over to another console and go find that so called bad release file on your local system. You can delete it and the installation will continue successfully. I do not remember the name of the file but I blieve it is somewhere in /var... The error message gives the full path I believe. It was obviously a currupt file which Frank left on the floppies when he built them.
