I found my DVD for F32 Live. I put that into the drawer, leaving
the drawer open. I thought maybe that was magic.
When I told it to reboot, it pulled in the drawer and immediately
booted F 32 Live. I told it to install to hard drive -- and got another
surprise. This machine has TWO drives, sda with 112 GB, and sdb with 1.8
TB -- both supposedly almost full. I told it to create space ("delete
all"), and it did indeed install F32, over the top of F32 that was
already there.
But when I then tried the same open-drawer trick with the F 33,
it did nothing for a long time, then booted F 32. :-{ I broke the DVD
with my bare hands; it shattered very satisfactorily. I'll go download
and burn another. Stay tuned.
