	I gave up for now on PC #3, and tried the same DVD-RW in PC #2. 
It did hit a choice of upgrading, which I took -- whereupon it hung. I 
let it go a long long time, thinking it might yet manage, then finally 
hit Ctrl-Alt-Bs. There were two messages there saying that 30-second 
timeouts had been exceeded, and one admitting failure. 

	I hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and it restarted Anaconda -- but went yet 
again only to the screen without the upgrade option. <sigh>
