I also had the same error message on install - put mine down to not enough
drive space for ydl partition.
Gave it some more (2GB, only have 3GB) & went for the HOME/OFFICE package.

I had the same problem and kept trying to install. I did hook up a 9gb
ext. drive and try one more time and for no appearent reason, it worked.
Go figure.
Anyhow, I wish I could tell you exactly how I got it to work but
perseverance and being mule stubborn in my continued attempts seems to be
the only thing other than trying the final hard drive (tried several before
that). Oh yeah, I switched to chocalate Klondike bars somewhere along the
line.
Good Luck!
