 OK .. this is what I have done so far.
 
 I noticed that Fedora-25 was offering to upgrade itself to Fedora-26.
 Rather than do that, I tried the USB-route with the same PNY 64-GB USB-3.0
 that failed for NetBSD.
 
 I used my Windows machine, to avoid the automatic upgrade on the Fedora-25
 machine.
 The website that I used is:            https://getfedora.org/
 I chose the Fedora workstation option.
 The process loads a Fedora-media-writer app onto Windows, and then creates
 the USB-install.
 
 I shutdown the Fedora-25 box and restated with the new USB attached, and
 went to Dell BIOS.
 The USB was recognized as option.   It was listed as:
 UEFI: General. Partition 1
 
 I was able to set this option as first in the boot sequence,
 and successfully installed a fresh, complete copy of Fedora-26.
 
 I have not yet tried the NetBSD-8 beta image.
