Thanks, Andy.  In the meantime I had downloaded the CD1, burnt it and tried 
with that - and had the same problem, and still trying to do a net install, 
although on every occasion I had told it to re-partition and format.

So I am trying to use Gparted on Knoppix to wipe the disk thoroughly and I'll 
try in order (with a good Gparted wipe in between) Net install 8.02, CD1 
8.03, net install 8.0.0 for a minimum install.  Then, if I am still remotely, 
vaguely sane, I'll report back.
