OK, no worries. As I mentioned in responding to Steve, I'm going to make 
sure the hardware is OK, then retry the installation. I'll file bug 
report(s) and find a work around if I can & document it for others. I'm 
not particularly proficient in French or Italian, but it is a workable 
option for me to do a fully French or Italian installation. That might 
give us some useful comparison cases.

How much space are we talking about for installation of all 139 languages?

David
