Steve,

Did you figure out how to get the DVD to install from the DVD, or did you
not notice that you were doing a netinstall? (or is beta2 out already?)

Your computer has enough RAM to go around? 4096 is around 10 times what you
need. Xfce will come up and work fine with 250mb (until you want to use a
web browser.)
