I read through the section you mentioned, and this is the specific error I
get

Sometimes at the end of installation, the installer will report "The
Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." In almost all cases,
this error is caused by a faulty download. There is an easy way to check
this.

I checked the md5 sum and that matches with what is on the download page.

So I am filling out the MacTeX support form.

By the way, this is the second time today I haven't followed instructions.
*sigh*.

Tom
