One very interesting little quirk I have discovered with YDL 2.3 is that=20
whenever I attempt a 'recommended' install .. the machine barfs during  t=
he=20
transferring of packages ... and gives me 'transaction set' errors.  I ha=
ve=20
found that it will install a 'home office' install without difficulty ...=
 and=20
then I can upgrade it from there ... by re-doing the install ... AFTER I =
have=20
everything installed from the first install.  Quite a bit of hitting the=20
<<return>> key as the beast doesn't upgrade smoothly ... but rather notif=
ies=20
you that each program installed is the latest and greatest.  Doing it thi=
s=20
way takes longer ... but the install goes to completion (even with a gui=20
interface) ...      Doing it in one lump almost guarantees that the insta=
ller=20
will barf at the process ... sometime along the way.   =20

Just a thought for those who are struggling...
