Addendum: During the installation, I did get error messages that indicated
certain files were not being found, however I did use the complete DVD ISO
image, which I believe should have included everything and, to make sure, I
selected every package for installation.  Also, the reference to Windows was
for the other machine (an older Toshiba using Vista, not 7) on which I had
burned the image disk (I completely eliminated the Windows 7 partition on
the newer machine prior to installation).
