Well, thanks to both youse guys....answers much appreciated. And, the version of DW I have is supposed to support 10.4.9 I'm pretty sure.
In any case, by "complete", and from memory (mine) I believe that DW replaced the "old" directory with the new, at my direction, and then gave me some kind of dialog box to either do another disk or quit; I quit, then got a dialog that "computer will restart automatically soon" and a blue button saying Restart.
I chose to let it restart on its own, then got the DW window which was solid blue with the spinning thing (not beachball - the "progress" spinny-circle thing, and it stayed like that for about 25 min while I awaited replies....
Couldn't take it any longer, so did a restart using computer On/Off button. All seems fine and am not booted from the "rebuilt" FW drive...fingers crossed.
Thanks both of you (and any others that slipped in before I get this posted) for your help.
