While trying to perform a partitionless install, I got through all of the configuration (Disk Druid, Workstation.......).  When the installer nearly 
finished creating the "loopback filesystem" it crashed and popped a new window with the following text in it.

#### Start report ####
Traceback (innermost last);

This was hand noted and typed, so, there may be typos.....

I tried to use FIPS to create a new partition and that would not work.  So, I tried the less desirable partitionless install.  Still, no LINUX.

Machine: DELL Deminsion XPS R350 w/ 64 megs RAM and 9.8G HD Running Win98.
         5.6 Gigs free - install should have work, I think.
