I tried it in PC #3, which is *not* nearly so expendable, and
noticed this time that when it gets to partitioning, one choice is to
"replace existing linux installation" -- which might mean putting either
an upgrade or a fresh install into the space now used. What became of
the choice we used to have??

Btw, I also find, every time I hit the partitioner, it refuses to
let me increase /boot beyond 200 MB.

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>
