As a mater of fact... when I re-checked the DVD
it did _not_ check out OK.  So I burned an erasable
DVD on premium media, and it wouldn't even boot
(even though it compared OK).

When I re-tried the installation last night, the 'media
check' now passed (on the DVD that _was_ bad 2 days ago)
and the installation completed successfully.

So I must have been in 'black hole' when I tried it the
first 6 times over 2 days.  :-()  But I'm out of the hole now.
I'm chalking it up to 'bad carma'.
