Yes, I gave up on the DVD.iso and downloaded and installed the F7 live 
gnome.  It is booting for the first time as I write this.

Now I hope that I will be able to install the rpm's in the dvd.iso 
file!  I try to stay within the 17 gig/30 day cap on my ISP's service 
[see Wildblue's Fair Access Policy.]  If we exceed that we are throttled 
back to dial up speed while still paying for premium service, not good!  
But it's the best of the options available here in the sticks.
