[lug] Install Problems

[Atkinson, Chip]

I think that the two problems that I had were bad disks and filling up
partitions.  The bad disks were because I was rummaging through my old disk
box and one of them was bad.  The other problem was the partitions filling
up.  This sucked too because the machine was a 486 and it took forever to go
through and select all the packages, etc.  I also was trying to install too
much on a smaller disk.  Finally I got the mess working.
