	Fwiw, machine #2 tried to burn the gwget download with K3B; that 
failed, with the error :

	Meanwhile, machine #1 burned the bittorrent download with K3B, 
checked it, and trumpetted success. I put it in the laptop now, and it 
didn't boot ; but I'm not sure whether that's a DVD or just a CD reader. 

	So I plugged the external drive into it, and that didn't work 
either -- it didn't even seem to see it either time. I'm going to try the 
trumpetted one in #3 PC ...
