James, I did read a lot about the Mac installation because I had to learn about X11 etc. That was before I downloaded. Perhaps I should look at it again. I spent considerable time online looking for answers.
It does amaze me that the download just disappears. I don't shut down about night, just put the Mac to sleep. Thanks again for your help!
