It never fails. I try for about a day to fix my problem, so I go to post something in a forum, then I go and try one last time. Oh look ... problem solved. I ran the Disk Utility on my install disc; verified BOTH the disc structure and the persmissions.

So, for all those who read and viewed, thanks ... but i'm all set. If any one has any thoughts on the matter, feel fre to reply. Otherwise ... bye.
