Sorry i just got back to work and am ready to finish this thing today, hopefully. Anyways I feel stupid now because i have been trying to install the x64/x86 version onto a sparc box. I didnt pay enough attention to the other downloads. I'm downloading now and I'll post back on how the install goes. Thank you all for your invaluable assistance. Maybe ill take this x86 home and install it on one of my pc's and play around with it!
