Joseph, I've successfully installed eCS 2.0 RC 5 on my old IBM Aptiva PC.  It would not install on my new Dell and I've entered a bug report as follows; any help on that will be welcome.

On a Dell XPS 210, the installation starts OK and then says,  "Please insert the eCS installation CD and press any key."  This repeats continually when a key is pressed. The Dell has Windows XP installed, has 2 GB of memory, and has a 3 GB bootable and unformatted partition at the end of its 500 GB hard drive, that is intended for eCS.
