I assumed this account started, say, a number of weeks ago, and the OP
stuck with the original media for continuity's sake. But if the full
account is posted in due course, I hope it's more informative than
would be suggested by statements like:

"The installer however did not like the answer"
"Once again I did not really have much choice in the matter"
"the installer did not seem to like that answer either"

(Personally, I only tested rc2 on a BIOS-booting machine. As expected,
I still got the "seems that this computer is configured to boot via EFI"
screen that's entirely inappropriate for this class of PC.)

Cheers,
David.
