Hi all,
Pulling the DIMMs and reseating them "appeared' to do the trick". However, I
'graduated" from the install problem to having a full install of the OS only
to have it give me a kernel panic here and there, and more frequently a
"blue screen of death" OS X-style (the desktop does not mount).
Perhaps it's the RAM after all?

Thanks all,
Dana
