YES !
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.
That makes the button appear, and I can continue.

[Sadly my install of the KDE spin seems to have biodegraded to the point
where it is completely unusable.  And all I did was install some software
and personalize some window, desktop and power management options.
After having to add my user to the cdrom group so I could burn CDs,
I logged out and back in.  Burning works, but now I can no longer log
in with KDE over X, and only KDE over Wayland works. I also noticed
via gkrellm that my CPU fan doesn't run and my CPU heats up.
Sadly i've got more testing/diagnosing to do to get a working F33.]
