update on this issue. it remains. 

	I moved a vmware image (the only product really installed on
this system) to another partition. The root partition now has 6.9Gb available.

	I checked the iso md5 checksum, it is correct.

	I re-burned the CD at slowest speed possible (though in truth
this seemed nonsensical).
	
	Upgrade dies in the exact same place, about 75% of the way
through coping the inital install image to the hard drive. This
installation has the following partition table:

	hda1 /boot 200Mb
	hda2 /usr  10Gb
	hda3 swap  1Gb
	hda5..8 non-system partitions

	I'm left feeling that it is trying to copy the install image
to hda1 /boot. It dies in just a few minutes and is during the copy so
it can't be that much data.

	Any want to prove or disprove this? log level?

	Any other thoughts out there?
