I shut it down, removed the live medium, and let it boot F 31.

This didn't happen this time, praise whatever gods there be!
For the record, I saw two panels, devoid of icons, flashing fast
and brightly, one on each side of the display.

Yes. I opened a terminal which gave me this prompt:
[beartooth@localhost-live ~]$
> Can you login?
Yes, with a lot of little boxes complaining about various applets
and offering to remove them. I told it not to. Then I did su - and it
took my regular root password.
So I opened Firefox to the Fedoramagazine page for upgrading by
CLI, and started copying & pasting as usual. It got as far as trying to
download F 32.
Then I got "Problem: The operation would result in removing the
following protected packages: sudo, systemd, systemd-udev (try to add --
skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
So I added it, and got the identical problem message again. And
there it sits; but at least this time it's a different problem.
