Really?! - it's just that simple? I appreciate your answer, Lee, but I feel really stupid: In an earlier thread ["jigdo error"] Thomas Schmitt recommended (1) above and Andrei Popescu recommended (2) - which I thought was just to fill in the hardware drivers as needed for the disk (1) install.  So yes, I used (2), and it went without a hitch -- almost feels too easy, like I should do some kind of penance for such an easy setup. But, looking ahead in the thread to Peter Ehlert's answer, I see that things get more (and unnecessarily) complicated.

Thanks,
John
