Thanks Brian. That's helping.

Something may be broken because in the path I selected (guided partitioning w/ 
LVM setup) it says I should see a screen to select from a list of partitioning 
schemes. This isn't happening for me. It goes straight into creating / and 
swap partitions. It offers no option to resize, add etc. On one try I chose 
Manual but it just brought me back to the same or a previous panel (don't 
remember now).

I downloaded the ISO from the gatech mirror and the sha1 matched.

[ Side note: Just went back to my server to verify something and found that 
the installer decided to proceed without me! It also failed the install -- 
apparently because it couldn't find the lvm2 package. This is some bad karmic! 
Thinking I'm going to wash my hands of 9.10 for now -- after I verify the CD.
