An error occurred transferring the install...

Sorry about the html email :).  It's not a download issue, I should have 
explained that better.  I have already downloaded the DVD image and 
burned it and everything.  It is when I'm trying to install it.  I get 
all the way through the packages selection and everything, which if you 
are like me can take a few minutes, and the it goes through formatting 
of the partition and all that jazz where it says it's copying the 
install image.  Then it comes back with that error, "An error occurred 
transferring the install image to your hard drive.  You are probably out 
of disk space".  Google-ing around for answers, I found where people 
have resolved this by entering one of those parameters, that I had 
listed, when the setup first beings.  Hope that explains it better.  Thanks.
