Many thanks. The second install iso above is much better behaved, but
possibly a little overeager. When it was paused at "Install base
system", I reached over to the wireless keyboard to press <enter>, and
inadvertently pressed the space bar while picking it up. That was
enough to trigger the installation. No harm done in this instance, but
less safe prior to disk formatting. (Users - who'd have 'em. Better off
without. ;)
It was with delight that I found I could select LXDE, rather than Gnome
or KDE.
