Aha! I had started, when K3B launched, with the upper right choice of the
four canned ones, making a new data CD. Trying it now from Tools > Burn CD
Image, with a new CD.

When I tried booting FC5, on the machine it wouldn't boot from, and just
attempting to open the CD, I got an error message saying that the name
indicated "raw CD image," while the contents indicated "Word perfect
document" [sic!].

The new burn just completed, announcing success (as it had before). Will
now try to boot from the new one.

Bless you! Sure enough, it booted straight to puppy. Many, many thanks! 

I have a highly intelligent, learned friend and hunting companion who runs
fancy stuff under Windows, just because he hates all things Apple so much
(as do I; I sympathize with him there). I've been looking for a long time
for a way to persuade him to try linux. 

He just told me Picasa had been ported (through wine) to linux, and that
he couldn't live without it; but svlug tells me several extant linux apps
(well, two or three, at least) are better and easier. With 9/10 of the CD
still blank, and what I read of puppy, I bet one live CD can be tailored
to it plus those apps. I may convert him yet. 

Besides, I'm interested in live CDs generally, as recruiting tools, and
puppy sounds particularly fascinating, especially now that Knoppix fills a
DVD.

Thanks again, most heartily!
