Thank you for making these available!  I was dreading the day I might
have to do a "from scratch" install after a catastrophic hardware
failure.

If nothing else, the installation media will be valuable in determining
how much of my current environment is obsolete and should be removed.

Hi Rafael,

I just finished an installation on AlphaServer 1000A/500 (with 512MB RAM) myself.
How much RAM does your machine has? I can imagine you need more?
Maybe try again?

I have successfully built working systems on a PWS 500au and a DS10L
using both the NETINST and CD flavors of ISOs.

Can you describe the problem more completely?  Which ISO are you using?
What is the exact text of the failure message?
