Thanks to all who responded. Looks like I'll be repeatedly installing so your advice will not go to waste.

Say, for example, I was downloading a 600MB ISO image. Wouldn't /tmp have to be at least that big for the download to succeed? I remember having problems with this on a Red Hat 6.2 system where /tmp was only 100 MB. I suppose one could avoid this by setting TMPDIR or whatever environment variable where the downloader expects to find a temporary pathname.
