Hooray! First question, first problem, first solution....
Sequence is that on shutdown, screen goes black, shows a few lines of wording about things shutting down, then the concentric circles appear (blue this time - with penguin-shaped black hole in centre and progress bar below it). Then CD pops out.
So I hit enter. And voila, the shutdown completes and computer powers down.
Simples! (when you know what to do....) . Thanks, gold_finger. If this is an example of how to deal with things, I think I may rapidly get to like Linux.
