Okay...... solved my space problem. I'm doing an FTP install using WAR-FTPD. I set the max users on the ftp server to 5 to be safe?. The install logs on at least 24 times without logging off. Go figure. I set the max users to 4000. Anyway.... now I can see all the packages and it says I have enough room. Another tip for WAR-FTPD users is to set the file access alias to /cdrom so the install can find it.
So now after the packages load, it says it can't mount the dasd it says it already knows about.
Another problem for another day.
Thanks to the many folks on the list for all the suggestions and support.

I also get the "No Proposal", but what I did was to Select Change and use the partitioner to assign the mount points.
My problem now is that the load finished, but when I reboot, apparently the zipl.conf is not set up properly and it will not mount the file systems. Making almost no headway on this one.
I agree with you about them fouling up the install process. The old way worked very well. They tried to make the new process prettier with X and VNC, but all they really managed to do was make it more difficult.
