	I now have a F29 32 bit disk in the T42, meaning to do a 
netinstall; but I have what I think must be a hardware problem. It booted 
from the desk, and started Anaconda normally; then I got interrupted, and 
when I got back, the screen was black. It still is.

	I've tried hitting keys, moving the mouse, opening and closing 
the machine -- with and without long waits in the midst of each. 

	I have not, yet, tried rebooting with the power button, not 
knowing what that might do to the install. Nor have I taken it to a shop. 
Does anybody have a better idea?
