    Use of the lennybeta2 cdinst made my previous problem go away.
I got a message at the very beginning suggesting I use the amd64
version rather than the i386 version (my machine is an HP small
forms desktop).  I ignored this message and stayed with the i386
out of laziness.  So far, things seem to be working.

   Thank you very much for your help.
