OK.

I am starting anew. I uninstalled the old.

Now, I do have some stuff in ~/Library/texmf, and I am at a point in the installation where I am getting this message:

"I found (a) personal configuration file(s) for user(s): David Arnold. These users will not fully use system-wide settings and their TeX configuration is not fully covered by this system-wide configuration phase."

I suspect they are related.

However, I don't want to just "delete" these as some would be hard to recover. Can I put them in a tmp directory somewhere? And, after the installation completes, is thre a proper new place to move them to?

I did mv texmf texmf2 You can recover them later if needed by copying single files or folders back. In my case there were only format files.

I had to do that because I got "format file mismatch" - there were ConTeXt formats in there, but they were older as they should be. Probably it would be OK if I just regenerated the formats again. Don't bother too much. If something causes you troubles, just rename the whole tree.
