https install is painfully slow(as i only have a 3 megabit connection)
but it at least tries to install..after fighting timeouts and other
connectivity issues.
32 bi installs fine..64 bit refuses to install saying i don't have the
cd in the drive(irregardless if i am using cd's or dvd's.)
the https install has died 4 times now saying it's timing
out..unfortunately the other 5 machines here are not having any issues.
I need a machine working pretty quick..if this is not solved soon i'll
send this back and build one myself.
sincerely,
William Warren
