I apologize for the ambiguity.

I was attempting to remember what the ""tapi package was but it was 
something like "Common Input" something or other.

I didn't take not of it, but if you download the x86_64 dvd1 and dvd2 
set, from 21-January and choose minimal install or minimal desktop then 
it is like the first of 754 packages and it fails with the error 
indicating that the package was not found, or something like that. (Very 
similar to the original poster's experience.)

However, while I guess on x86 installs, if you remove the updates and 
"possibly fastupdates"  the install completes, that is not the case for 
even just "SL" or "SL-x86_64."

It just does not work using any of the repository choices, and choosing 
different software just means the difference in stopping at package 3, 
1, or 254. (I tried with minimal, minial Desktop, Desktop, Development, 
etc...)

The system is an old Optiplex GX620 with no upgrades other than memory. 
(was the box they give me, hehehehhe. I still a good little box, though.)

I have 3GB ram installed and am using the dual-head ati video cards that 
were order with the original boxes.
